Prevent your screen from going dark as you follow along.

Prep Time: chilling and cooling time plus, prep time 20 minutes / Cook Time: 1 hour / Yields: 10 to 12 servings

Make the Dough
Step 1

Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Using your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized pieces form. Add the 1/2 of water and vodka and continue to knead until a dough forms. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Prepare the Filling
Step 2

Meanwhile, make the filling: In a medium saucepan, stir sugar with 2 tablespoons water over medium-high heat until it has dissolved and turned dark amber in color, 8-10 minutes. Stir in cream, butter, and salt, then transfer to a heatproof bowl to cool.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the apples with the cornstarch, followed by the cooled caramel to incorporate.

Assemble
Step 4

Assemble the galette: Preheat the oven to 400ºF. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into an 18-inch circle, ⅙-inch thick. Transfer the dough over to a sheet of parchment paper and pile the apples in the center, leaving the outer 3-inches of dough bare.

Step 5

Fold the outer 1/2-inch of dough over itself to form an even lip around the galette, then begin to fold the dough over the apples. Brush the outside crust liberally with the beaten egg. Sprinkle Domino® Golden Sugar over the egg wash.

Step 6

Bake until the galette is golden brown, 50-60 minutes. Let cool completely, then slice and serve.
