Apple galette

I came up with this recipe one day when I wanted to put a little twist on apple pie:) It is very similar to an apple pie, only thinner and crunchier! I don't know about you, but the more crust, the better!:):) Yum!!!

Ingredients:
-one single 9 inch pie crust (recipe for this can be found under "Basics" category)
-two medium apples peeled, cored, and sliced
-1/4 cup of sugar
-3/4 tbsp flour
-1/8 tsp salt
-1/8-1/4 tsp of cinnamon (real cinnamon lovers can put 1/4 tsp:))
-1/2 tsp lemon juice
-1 egg, beaten

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix the flour mixture into the sliced apples in a medium bowl. Add the lemon juice. Your apple filling is complete. Lay your 9 inch pie crust out on a greased cookie sheet. Spoon as much filling as you can onto the crust, just keep about 11/2 to 2 inches between the edge of the filling and the edge of the pie crust. Now, begin folding the edges of the pie crust over the filling, forming a crust for the galette. Fold small sections over, getting the lines that your folds create to all go in one direction until you get all around the galette. After you're finished folding, take your beaten egg and brush the crust of the galette. Try not to get egg on the filling. This will make the pie crust come out looking golden brown and flaky. Take a square piece of aluminum foil, larger than the galette, and crimp the edges a bit to weigh it down. lay the foil gently on the galette. Place your cookie sheet on the middle rack of your oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Remove the foil about halfway through the cooking time. Let it cool then slice it like a pizza. This can be served with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or alone. Makes 4-6 servings.
