Description

This rustic Apple Galette is a delightful and easy-to-make dessert featuring thinly sliced apples spiced with cinnamon, wrapped in a flaky pie crust, and baked to golden perfection. The optional apricot preserves add a glossy finish and extra sweetness, making it a perfect autumn treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

For the Galette

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust (pre-made for convenience)
  • 2 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Finish (Optional)

  • ½ cup apricot preserves, warmed

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for easier handling.
  2. Prepare the apples: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced apples with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir gently to evenly coat the apples with the sugar and spice mixture.
  3. Shape the crust: Spread the pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a rustic circle to form the base of the galette.
  4. Assemble the galette: Arrange the coated apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 1-2 inch (2.5-5 cm) border around the edges free.
  5. Fold the crust edges: Carefully fold the edges of the pastry over the apples, creating a rough, pleated border to encase the filling partially.
  6. Bake: Place the galette in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  7. Optional finishing touch: Allow the galette to cool slightly. Then, brush the apple filling gently with warmed apricot preserves to add shine and extra sweetness before serving.

Notes

  • Allowing the pie crust to come to room temperature makes it easier to work with and fold.
  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a balance of sweet and tart flavors.
  • Warming apricot preserves before brushing helps them spread easily and glaze the apples beautifully.
  • This galette is best served warm but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
  • You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on the side for extra indulgence.
