1.5 cups all-purpose flour This forms the base for a flaky and tender crust.
0.5 teaspoons salt Enhances the flavor of the crust.
0.25 cups granulated sugar Adds a touch of sweetness.
0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed) Keep it cold for that perfect flaky texture.
0.25 cups ice water Hydrates the dough without warming the butter.

3 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced) Choose your favorite variety for the best flavor.
0.25 cups brown sugar Adds caramel notes that complement the apples.
1 teaspoon cinnamon Infuses warmth and spice.
1 tablespoon lemon juice Brightens flavors and keeps apples from browning.
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for cooking apples) Helps sauté apples to tenderness.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and granulated sugar.
Add the cubed butter to the flour mixture and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the ice water while mixing until the dough comes together.
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender.
In a saucepan, melt the granulated sugar over medium heat until it turns golden amber.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and let cool.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness and cut out circles (4-5 inches in diameter).
Place a spoonful of the apple filling in the center of each circle. Drizzle caramel sauce over the apples.
Fold the dough edges over the filling, pleating to create a rustic look.
Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Allow galettes to cool slightly. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

For an extra crunch, consider adding chopped nuts to the filling or as a topping.
