Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/4 cups (170g) all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) Country Crock® Plant Butter with Olive Oil, cold and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons ice water
  • Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling crust
  • Almond milk, for brushing

Filling

  • 3 honeycrisp apples (or granny smith, pink lady)
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon Country Crock® Plant Butter with Olive Oil, cut into small pieces

Peanut Butter Caramel Sauce

  • 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 stick Country Crock® Plant Butter with Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

For Serving

  • Vegan vanilla ice cream
  • Plum or apricot preserves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined. Add cold, cubed vegan butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse sand. Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until dough just comes together and is moist enough to form a ball (typically 3 tablespoons).
  2. Chill the dough: Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface, shape into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  3. Make the peanut butter caramel: In a small pot, combine dark brown sugar, coconut milk, and vegan butter. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture bubbles and thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and sea salt until smooth. Transfer to a sealable container and cool, refrigerating once cooled. Reheat gently before serving.
  4. Prepare the filling: Peel and slice apples into 1/2-inch slices. In a large bowl, combine apple slices with light brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.
  5. Roll out the dough: Remove chilled dough from refrigerator and let rest 10 minutes at room temperature. On a floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch diameter circle. Carefully transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Assemble the galette: Arrange apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 1.5-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough inward over the apples, pleating as needed. Dot the apples with small pieces of the remaining vegan butter. Freeze the assembled galette for 15 minutes.
  7. Preheat and prepare for baking: Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, prepare almond milk for brushing and have turbinado sugar ready for sprinkling.
  8. Brush and sprinkle crust: Remove galette from freezer. Using a pastry brush, gently brush the exposed crust with almond milk and sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar for a crunchy, caramelized finish.
  9. Bake the galette: Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and apples are tender.
  10. Optional glazing: Remove galette from oven and optionally brush warm apple filling with apricot or plum preserves for a shiny, attractive finish.
  11. Cool and serve: Transfer galette to a rack and let cool completely. Slice and serve topped with vegan vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of the prepared peanut butter caramel sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you don’t have a food processor, prepare crust by mixing flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in vegan butter using a pastry cutter or fork until sandy texture is achieved. Add ice water gradually and form dough.
  • Other baking apples, such as granny smith or pink lady, work well as substitutes for honeycrisp apples.
  • Nutrition facts do not include apricot preserves, peanut butter caramel, or vegan vanilla ice cream.
