INGREDIENTS:

• GALETTES:
  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • ⅓ cup ice water (approx)
  • 2 tart apples (such as Braeburn or Northern Spy), peeled and chopped
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (approx)
  • ¼ tsp each cinnamon and ground allspice
  • 1 egg
• WHISKEY CARAMEL:
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp whipping cream (35%)
  • pinch salt
  • 3 tbsp whiskey (such as rye or bourbon)
  • ¼ tsp vanilla

DIRECTIONS:

1. GALETTES:
   • In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
   • Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Stir in ice water all at once with a fork, adding up to 2 tbsp more ice water if necessary, just until mixture begins to come together.
   • Shape into a disc, wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
   • Divide pastry into sixths; form each into a ball.
   • On a lightly floured surface, roll out each into a 7-inch (18 cm) circle.
   • Arrange on 2 parchment paper–lined rimmed baking sheets.
   • In a bowl, toss together apples, sugar, cinnamon, and allspice.
   • Spoon about ½ cup onto the center of each pastry circle.
   • Lift pastry edge up and over filling to form about a 4-inch (10 cm) circle, letting pastry fall naturally into folds and leaving the center uncovered.
   • Whisk egg with 1 tsp water and brush over pastry.
   • Sprinkle galettes with about ½ tsp more sugar.
   • Bake on top and bottom racks in a 375°F (190°C) oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through, until pastry is golden and apples are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
   • Let cool slightly on pan on a rack. (Make-ahead: Lightly cover and set aside on baking sheet for up to 24 hours; warm in 300°F/150°C oven for 10 minutes before serving.)
2. WHISKEY CARAMEL:
   • In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
   • Whisk in brown sugar, cream, and salt; bring to boil.
   • Boil, whisking, until thickened, about 3 minutes.
   • Remove from heat.
   • Stir in whiskey and vanilla.
   • Drizzle over galettes.
