Apple-Cranberry Galette (Or just Apple Galette)

This is a delicious French pastry that's super easy to make!

1/2c whole wheat flour
1/2c all-purpose flour plus extra for work surface
1/2c plus 1T cold unsalted butter, divided, cut into small pieces
2 1/2T cold water
3medium apples, peeled and cored
1c cranberries (optional)
1/3c sugar
1tsp cinnamon

In a food processor with a blade attachment, mix both flours and 1/2c butter. Process until butter is the size of tiny peas. Add water; pulse until the dough pulls together. Form into a 5" disk on a floured surface. Cover; refrigerate for an hour. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a floured surface. Roll the dough into a 12"circle about 1/8"thick. Put the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or transfer later. Quarter apples; slice 1/4in thick. Mix remaing ingredients with apples and spoon into center of dough, leaving a 2"border. Fold dough over and dot center with remaining butter. Bake 35minutes, until crust is golden and fruit bubbles.
I know it's a picture of only half the galette, but we had already eaten half of it before I took the picture, haha. I also did not use cranberries in this one since they're currently out of season.
