1️⃣ Make the Crust
In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar.
Cut in cold butter until pea-sized crumbs form.
Add ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, until dough comes together.
Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill 30 mins.

Toss apple slices with brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.
3️⃣ Assemble the Galette
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Arrange apples in the center, leaving a 2-inch border.
Fold edges over apples, pleating as you go.
4️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection
Brush crust with egg wash, sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake 35-40 mins until crust is golden and apples are tender.
5️⃣ Serve Warm!
Let cool 10 mins, then slice and serve with ice cream.
