Apple Gallettes

from vegenomicon which has so many amazing recipes

crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 T sugar
1 t salt
1/2 c shortening
1/2-3/4 c very cold water
1 t apple cider vinegar

apple filling: 2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced very thinly(1/8 inch or less)
2 T light brown sugar
1/4 t cinnamon
6 t apricot preserves

prep dough
in a large bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add the shortening in 3 batches. Cut with a pastry cutter until it is crumbly and pebbly. combine acv with water and slowly add mixing gently with a fork until the dough holds together. knead a few times and refrigerate dough for 30 min. you can refrigerate it longer but then you will have to leave it out for 15 min.
preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
roll dough out on floured surface to about a 12x15 rectangle and 1/4 inch thickness. cut 4 8 inch hearts. (I used a paper heart to get them to be uniform)
re-roll scraps to make 2 more.
roll in the edges and score with a fork.
spread 1 t apricot preserves on each crust and starting from the top place 4 slices of apple on each side. spray w/ oil and sprinkle some brown sugar and cinnamon on top. cook for 35-30 min until brown.
not to sweet so it goes great w/ something creamy.
My favorite is Larry and Luna's coconut based vanilla "ice cream"
