Gluten-Free Cinnamon Apple Galette
I’m a sucker for anything with a crust, especially this gluten-free cinnamon apple galette. Galettes were a new dessert to me a few years back, but they’ve quickly become one my favorite gluten-free desserts because of their rustic, artisanal appearance compared to the perfectly created lattice pies you see floating around. Galettes are similar to tarts, however, the distinction lies within the crust. While tarts have a more straight-side crust, galettes are a more rustic, free-form crust. In other words, the PERFECT crust for a non-baker like me!
How to make a gluten-free cinnamon apple galette
- Make the galette dough. To see a full step-by-step tutorial with images, read through my gluten-free galette dough recipe.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Then cut the cold butter into small chunks and add to the bowl.
- Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until you have coarse crumbs.
- Add cold water and blend with a fork until the dough comes together. Remove the dough from the bowl and form into a ball or disc. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling, add apples, sugar, cinnamon, and allspice to a large mixing bowl. Set aside until dough is ready.
- When the dough is ready, lay out one sheet of parchment paper and lightly flour. Place the dough onto the floured surface. Cover the dough with an additional sheet of parchment paper and roll out into a large 12-14 inch circle – or just roll out with a floured rolling pin. If the dough sticks, try the parchment paper trick.
- Spoon filling into the center of the dough, then carefully fold up the edges, letting them naturally fold in.
- Carefully transfer the dough, bottom parchment paper and all, to a baking sheet. Trim the parchment paper so that it’s not hanging over any edges of the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk the one egg white and brush over the crust edge – sprinkle additional sugar across the entire galette and place into the oven to bake
. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove from oven and let slightly cool before serving.

- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup cold water
- one egg white
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut butter into cubes and add to the flour mixture.

- Press the dough into a ball or disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling, add apples, sugar, cinnamon, and allspice to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Set aside until the dough is ready.
- When the dough is ready, lay out one sheet of parchment paper and lightly flour. Place the dough onto the floured surface. Cover the dough with an additional sheet of parchment paper and roll out into a large 12-14 inch circle - or just roll out with a floured rolling pin. If the dough sticks, try the parchment paper trick.
- Spoon the filling into the center of the dough, then carefully fold up the edges, letting them naturally fold in. There will be cracks and lines.
- Carefully transfer the galette, bottom parchment paper and all, to a baking sheet. Trim the parchment paper, if needed, so that it is not hanging over the edges of the baking sheet.
