Apple Galette with Walnut Streusel

Could these be my absolute best bake? I made them 3 times in 8 days, and each one disappeared within hours! I am not a fan of apple or fruit pies in general, and this has won me over completely. The flavor combination is fantastic- apples, cinnamon, walnuts (& coconut flakes)! This recipe is actually what drawn me to making galette in the first place. #datgoldenbrowncrustdoe

Apple Galette variation #1

1/4 tsp salt

2 tbsp sugar

1/2 cup butter, cubed and frozen

4 tbsp water, cold

2. Add in butter and pulse until small beads form.
3. Add in cold water and pulse until dough starts to come together as a ball.
4. Divide into two each ~160g (total wt: 318g).
5. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill one for 30 minutes and freeze the other.

sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sugar (no exact measure)
2 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes

Topping
Leftover from previous

result of brushing with milk

This variation was equally yummy as first one!
- The amt of dough fit perfectly in my mini food processor; the dough was soft and smooth!
- Added coconut flakes which bought in a slight chewiness and tropical flare. 

- Dicing the apples instead of slicing made for easy cutting and clean biting (no dragging the whole slice out and having toppings rolling off). 

- Brushed with milk instead and achieved a lighter golden brown color. Turbinado sugar didn't stick as well to the dough with the milk brush. Prefer cream.
