3 Golden Delicious apples (about 1-1/2 pounds), pared, cored, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup sugar plus 1 tablespoon

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 Single-Crust Pie Pastry (recipe this page)

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 tablespoon milk

1 tablespoon chopped walnuts

1 tablespoon apricot preserves, melted

Combine apples with lemon juice in medium-size bowl; toss to coat apples. Stir in the 1/4 cup sugar, the flour and cinnamon.  Roll pastry out on lightly floured surface into 14-inch circle. Carefully roll pastry back onto rolling pin; unroll pastry onto large ungreased baking sheet. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Mound apple filling onto center of dough, leaving 2-1/2-inch border all around edge. Cut up butter into small pieces. Dot apple filling with butter. Fold uncovered pastry border up and part-way over apple filling, working all around galette. Brush top of pastry edge with milk. Sprinkle with the 1 tablespoon sugar and the nuts. Bake in 400F oven about 40 minutes or until filling is hot and crust is golden. Brush top evenly with apricot preserves. Cut galette into wedges, and serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 12 servings.
