Make the Galette
Place a rack in the center of your oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes before baking your galette.
Thaw your puff pastry at room temperature for 40 minutes. Lightly flour your countertop and roll out the puff pastry to an 8-inch by 11-inch rectangle. Transfer the puff pastry to a parchment-lined baking sheet and place it in the refrigerator.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into ⅛-inch thick slices. Place apples in a bowl with brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
Arrange the apple slices in slightly overlapping rows to within 2 inches of the edge. If the apple mixture has some liquid in the bottom, do not pour this into the pastry crust. Fold the edge of the dough over the apples. Brush the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Sprinkle the cubed butter over the top of the apples.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow the tart to cool for 5 minutes.
Heat the peach jelly and water in the microwave while the tart cools. Use a silicone brush to coat the apples with the warm jelly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
- Puff Pastry: You want to refrigerate your puff pastry after rolling it out into a rectangle. It will be difficult to work with if you leave it out at room temperature for too long.
- Baking Tips: Some juices may leak out of the tart onto the pan and burn the pan. Simply scrape any parts away from the tart once it’s baked.
- Make Ahead: This tart is best served warm, and on the day it is made.
- Apples: Be sure to use baking apples that hold their shape for this tart. I enjoy gala, fuji, or honey crisp apples in this recipe.
- Peach Jelly: Covering the apples with warm peach jelly is an optional step. I enjoy the flavor boost and the added shine! Feel free to substitute with your favorite flavor—I think orange marmalade and pear jelly would both be delicious.
