Equipment

Directions

  1. Blend flour and salt in processor.
  2. Add butter and blend, using on/off turns, until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons ice water and blend just until dough begins to clump together, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep dough chilled. Soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.
  4. Roll out dough between sheets of parchment paper to 1/8-inch-thick round, 14 inches in diameter.

  6. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  7. Combine apple slices, 2 tablespoons sugar, and lemon peel in medium bowl; toss to blend.
  8. Spread preserves over crust, leaving 1 1/2-inch plain border. Arrange apple slices in concentric circles atop preserves, overlapping slightly. Using parchment as aid, fold plain crust border up over apples, pinching any cracks in crust.
  9. Brush crust with milk.
  10. Sprinkle crust edges and apples with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
  11. Bake galette 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue baking until crust is golden, about 30 minutes longer.
