THE RECIPE

Rustic apple galette with blueberry & lime

A free-form French tart with crisp folded edges and plenty of visible apple. Blueberries turn the filling deep purple while lime keeps it lively.

Method

  1. 1
    Mix the dough

    Rub the flour, butter, sugar and salt together. Add the water, shape into a flat disc and chill for 30 minutes.

  2. 2
    Slice thinly

    Thinly slice the apples and toss with the sugar, starch and flavouring: 150 g blueberries, finely grated lime zest and ½ tbsp extra starch.

  3. 3
    Shape

    Roll the dough into a roughly 35 cm circle on baking paper. Arrange the apples in the centre, leaving a 5 cm border.

  4. 4
    Fold the edge

    Fold the dough over the filling in soft pleats. Brush with egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

  5. 5
    Bake

    Bake until the edge is a deep golden brown and the apples are tender. Cool for 20 minutes.
