Ingredients
Pastry
- ½ cup salted butter cold and cut into cubes
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon fennel seed crushed
- 4-5 tablespoons ice water
Galette
- 10-12 breakfast sausage links maple flavor or regular
- 1 ¼ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided
- ½ granny smith apple sliced thin
- ½ gala apple sliced thin
- 1 large egg for the egg wash to brush on the edges of the pastry
- coarse salt for sprinkling on the edge of the pastry
- maple syrup for finishing and serving
Instructions
Pastry
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, pepper, fennel seed, and cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs about the size of peas.
- Add the ice water to the flour mixture, starting with 2 tablespoons. Stir the dough and continue adding water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just comes together. The dough should hold together when pinched between two fingers. Form the dough into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill the dough for 30 minutes or overnight.
Galette
- Preheat the oven to 375℉.
- Set a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Remove the casings from the breakfast sausage. Brown the sausage until cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- Roll out the dough into a circle about 12-14 inches in diameter. (If the dough was chilled overnight, the dough may need to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before rolling.) Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Slice the apples into thin slices. Spread ¾ cup of the cheese on the dough, leaving a 1 to 1 ½ inch border. Top with apple slices and sausage. Top with remaining ½ cup cheese.
- Fold the edges of the pastry over the toppings to form a rustic crust. Brush the edges of the pastry with an egg wash (one egg whisked together with one tablespoon of water). Sprinkle the edges with coarse salt.
- Bake 40 - 45 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Cool for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges. Drizzle maple syrup over the top and serve.
