Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides a natural sweetness with a unique flavor.

cornstarch

🥗Healthier: arrowroot powder

💰Cheaper: flour

Arrowroot powder is a gluten-free thickener.

Put 2 sugars into a pan over medium heat.

Add unsalted butter on top of the sugars in the pan.

Peel, core, and slice 6 apples using a stable knife.

Prepare a broken caramel by heating the apples with the sugar and butter.

Season the mixture with pie spice as it cooks.

Roll out the pastry dough on a floured cutting board, ensuring uniform thickness.

Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet.

Pour the apple mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.

Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, creating a rustic look.

Mix cream and egg yolk together and brush it on the edges of the dough for shine.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until the crust is brown and crisp.

Let the galette cool before slicing.
