Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
On a clean countertop, press the two pie crust dough circles together to form a ball. Roll the dough ball out using a rolling pin to a 12-inch diameter. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet; set aside.
Core, peel, and slice the apples into ¼-inch thick pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the apple slices with granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Pour the mixture into the center of the pie crust dough circle and spread it evenly, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
Fold about 2 inches of the pie crust dough over the apples, working your way all around the circle.
In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly. Sprinkle the crumbs over the apples in the center of the galette.
Bake the galette at 350°F for 40-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
Remove from the oven and allow the galette to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
