Apple Galette with Cheddar Crust

A rustic, free-form tart filled with sweet apples and a savory cheddar crust.

Ingredients - Serves 8

In a large bowl, combine the flour and cheddar cheese. Add the butter and use your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, stirring until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, combine the apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as necessary.
Brush the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender. Let cool before slicing and serving.
