Apple Raspberry Galette with Butter Crust
Enjoy this red and white holiday galette, including whole wheat crust, as an elegant plated dessert or teatime treat. Grass-fed butter is used as an omega-3-rich alternative to conventional (grain-fed) butter in the pastry. [callout]

Baking tip: Working with pastry

When making pastry, place an ice cube in the water to keep it as cold as possible, and add 1 Tbsp (15 mL) water to dough at a time. For ease of rolling, use a well-floured surface or two sheets of parchment paper, rolling from the centre out, rotating a quarter turn per roll; this will ensure a uniform circle and thickness.

Directions

01
For pastry, in food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add butter and pulse until only pea-sized pieces of butter remain. Working 1 Tbsp (15 mL) at a time, add ice water, pulsing after each addition, until dough holds together between your fingers. Dump onto piece of parchment paper and form into 2 in (5 cm) high disc; wrap and chill for at least 1 hour, until cold.
02
On lightly floured surface or between 2 sheets of parchment paper, roll dough into a rough circle 1/4 in (0.6 cm) high. Place on large parchment-lined baking sheet and chill until ready to assemble. Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C).
03
For filling, in large bowl, toss all filling ingredients together until combined. Mound into centre of rolled pastry, leaving 3 to 4 in (7.5 to 10 cm) gap around the outside. Fold pastry edges up around filling (it should look very rustic). Brush with egg wash for a shiny coating, if you wish. Lightly dust with cane sugar and some cardamom or cinnamon.
04
Bake for 5 minutes. Lower heat to 375 F (190 C) and bake for 25 to 30 minutes longer, until fruit is bubbling and pastry is beginning to brown. Cool completely on baking sheet. Serve.
