Ingredients

1 tsp olive oil
4 tbsp butter chilled/diced
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
5 tbsp ice water
2 large baking apples peeled, cored, and sliced very thin
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp thyme leaves

Instructions

Brush the olive oil onto a cookie sheet with no sides, or on the bottom of a jelly roll pan.
1 tsp olive oil
Combine the butter, flour, and salt in a food processor and pulse until a coarse meal is formed.
4 tbsp butter, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp salt
Add the water and process until the dough forms a ball.
5 tbsp ice water
Form the dough into a thick, flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough directly on the oiled cookie sheet, forming a circle about 14 inches (35 cm) in diameter.
Combine the apples, honey, lemon juice, and thyme in a bowl and toss to combine well.
2 large baking apples, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp thyme leaves
Arrange the apple slices on the pastry, leaving a 1 to 2 inch (3 to 5 cm) border all around.
Fold the border over the apples to form a rustic crust.
Pour any remaining honey-lemon juice mixture over the apples.
Bake in a preheated 400F (200C) oven for about 1 hour, until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Serve the Apple Galette with the topping of your choice.
