Instructions

Pre-heat your oven to 350°
First core and slice your apples. Whether you use a vegetable slicer is completely up to you, your apple slices do not need to be perfect.
Once sliced, add your apples to a large bowl with the lemon juice, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a baking spatula to gently mix the apples so they don't break.
Then roll out your dough and place it on a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Any pieces of the dough that separate can just be pinched back together.
Next, starting about an inch from the outer edges of the dough, begin placing your apples in the center of the pie crust, overlapping them in a spiral shape. Alternatively, you can also just dump all the apples in the center of the pie dough.
Create your egg wash by whisking your egg and a tablespoon of water. Put to the side.
Then fold the outer inch of the dough over the apples all the way around in the shape of a circle. Take your eggs wash and using a pastry brush, brush the edges of the pie crust. Sprinkle the folded edges of the crust with raw sugar.
Finally, cut a tablespoon from a stick of butter and cut it into small square pieces. Place them over the top of the apples.
Place the apple galette in the oven and bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool down to room temperature before transferring it to your serving board.
Line a serving board or tray with parchment paper. When transferring, use two large flat spatulas to transfer.

Notes

For my galette, I used a round wooden board and cut the parchment paper in the shape of the board. This is also really helpful if you aren't serving it right away and may need to reheat it. You can also use a pie plate. By placing parchment paper at the bottom, you can quickly and easily transfer it to a baking dish for reheating and then grab the parchment to move it back to the serving dish.
It's very important to let your apple galette cool before transferring as when your galette comes out of the oven it will be soft and can easily break if you try to move it before letting it cool.
