Preheat oven to 400 degrees

In a mixing bowl, mix the flour, and sugar.

With a pastry knife, cut the vegetable shortening into the flour until well combined.

Add the water a little at a time while mixing with a spatula to form a dough.

Grease a pizza pan with vegetable shortening and dust the surface with flour. Roll the dough into a 14 inch diameter circle.

Peel and slice your apples and arrange them on the center of the dough while leaving 2 inches around the edge to turn up.

Combine the sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

Sprinkle the surface of the apples with the lemon juice and then sprinkle the sugar-spice mixture.

Fold the edges of the crust up around the apple filling and transfer the galette to a 400 F pre-heated oven.

Bake the galette for about 1 hour or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.

Let the galette cool on the pan on a wire rack until it is warm enough to touch without burning your fingers.

Slice and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
