Butternut and Apple Galette

If making your own pie dough, combine the butter, flour, salt and black pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until small pieces form. While pulsing the food processor, add the cold water (Tip: put the water into a cocktail shaker with ice and give it a good shake to keep the water super cold!). Continue pulsing until dough just comes together. Pour it out onto a slightly floured surface and press it into a round flat disk. Wrap the dough in plastic and let it chill in refrigerator for an hour or up to 24 hours (or freeze it for later use!). 

For the filling, melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add apple, onion and squash, and season with thyme, sage, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook to just tender, about 15 minutes. Let cool a bit.

Roll the pie dough out into a large circle on a floured surface to about 12- to 13-inches in diameter and 1/8-inch thick. Place on parchment on a baking sheet and arrange the apples and squash slightly mounded in the center leaving a two-inch border around the edges.  Fold in edges overlapping as you tuck and turn the galette.   

Preheat oven to 350°F, placing a rack in the center of the oven. Bake the galette 30 minutes, brush edges with egg wash and bake 15-25 minutes more until crust is deep golden. 

Serve topped with blue cheese crumbles and drizzled with honey.
