Apple Pie Galette

Use a food processor to whizz together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar and salt). Add the butter and work it into the flour mixture until the butter is evenly dispersed in pea sized chunks. Resist the urge to go any further - the lumps of butter are what make the pastry flaky.

Add the egg and the cream and work it together until it forms a loose, rough dough. Bring it together on a work surface without kneading it, fashion it into a disk and set it in the fridge for a few hours to hydrate and chill.

Meanwhile, toss the apple chunks with the sugar, corn flour and lemon.

Roll out the pastry until it's roughly 4mm thick and a vague circle - don't worry if it's rough around the edges, this is the nonchalant Gallic character of the tart and should be embraced.

Spoon the apple filling into the middle and gently fold up the sides. Again, having folds and ugly bits is actively encouraged here. Brush the sides with the egg and cream mixture, scatter with demerara sugar and bake for around 40 minutes to an hour until golden, crisp and bubbling.

Serve with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream.
