Roasted Butternut Squash Apple (Printable)

Golden galette filled with roasted butternut squash, apples, and a buttery flaky crust perfect for cozy dining.

# What You Need:

→ Pastry Dough

01 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 tsp salt
03 - 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
04 - 1/4 cup ice water

→ Roasted Vegetables

05 - 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced
06 - 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
07 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
08 - 2 tbsp olive oil
09 - 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
10 - 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
11 - 1/2 tsp salt

→ Garnish and Finishing

12 - 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
13 - 1 tbsp honey
14 - 1 egg, beaten
15 - 1 tbsp coarse sugar

# How-To:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash, apples, and red onion with olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and lightly caramelized. Let cool slightly.
03 - In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 20 minutes.
04 - On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
05 - Arrange the roasted squash, apples, and onion in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Sprinkle with goat cheese and drizzle with honey if using.
06 - Fold the dough edges over the filling, pleating as you go, to form a rustic galette. Brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
07 - Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The way roasted vegetables sweeten in the oven feels like magic every single time
  • Rustic imperfections are not only acceptable but encouraged
02 -
  • Hot filling makes pastry soggy so let roasted vegetables cool slightly before assembling
  • Work quickly once the dough is out of the refrigerator to keep butter cold
03 -
  • Freeze the butter for 15 minutes before starting for the flakiest results
  • Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning
