Method:

Sift the flour into a medium bowl. Then whisk in the sugar and salt. For the butter, make sure it is cold then dice and throw it into the bowl along with the almond extract. Give that a good mix and work the butter into the dough. Add in water. (You may need a little more water depending on how dry the dough is. Knead the dough until combined. Do not over knead. After dough is all mixed, place the dough into a zip lock bag and let cool in refrigerator for at least 30 mins.
Now for the apple filling, slice up your apples pretty thin. Mix them with the sugar, almond extract, almond flour, lemon juice, cinnamon and the melted butter. Give that a good mix and once your dough has been cooled, flatten out onto parchment paper with some flour and roll out about 10/12 inch circle. Place the apples however you’d like onto the spread out dough. Leave about a 2 inch border to fold up the edges. Press gentle to seal. Brush on the egg wash just on the crust and then sprinkle on the sliced almonds and raw sugar over the whole galette. Place into the oven at 375 F for 35/40 minutes.
Take out and let cool for about 10/15 mins before drizzling on the frosting.
