Instructions
Make the crust
Whisk the oat flour, almond sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl. Then work in the butter using a fork or your hands. Drizzle the water over the mixture, adding more if needed to form a smooth dough. Knead it a couple of times then form a ball, flatten it into a disc, wrap it in plastic, and place it in the fridge for 1 hour.
Make Filling
In a large bowl, toss together the apples, brown sugar, oat flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Let sit until the dough is ready.
Have a large baking sheet ready. Place a piece of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on the counter.
Lightly flour the parchment, then take the dough out of the fridge, place it on the parchment and roll it into about a 12-inch circle
Arrange the apples (and any juices from the bottom of the bowl) into the center of the dough, leaving a 2–3-inch border all around them. Then gently fold and crimp the edges of the dough over the filling, overlapping the dough as necessary. Gluten free dough is a little tricky, so go slow. Press to seal the edges and brush with the egg wash if using.
Place the galette in the fridge for 20 minutes or up to 8 hours (covered).
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Take the galette on the baking sheet out of the fridge and bake until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown and set, about 35–45 minutes. Check at 35 minutes and keep checking if it needs a little longer.
Remove the galette from the oven and it allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Cover and store leftover galette in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
