Description
A galette (also known as a crostata in Italian cuisine) is the rustic, less fussy cousin to a regular pie. Toss out the pan and free form the crust and there you have it. For this recipe, we pair the seasonal apple galette with a scrumptious homemade caramel sauce. A scoop of vanilla ice cream would be perfect!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 basic pastry crust
- 3 Tablespoons, approximately, caramel sauce
- Egg wash, made from one light beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of milk
For the galette filling:
- 2 to 3 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or other good baking apples)
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1, 1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Instructions
Prepare the filling:
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Combine apple slices in large bowl with lemon juice, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
Make the galette
- Preheat your oven to 375 F degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pastry dough into an approximately 10 inch round crust. Transfer your crust to a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Pile the sliced apple filling in the center of the crust, leaving about 2 inches of crust around the sides. Begin folding the sides of the crust up around the apples, pinching together the edges, until you have formed your galette. Brush the crust with the egg wash.
- Bake at 375 F degrees for 35-38 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and the filling bubbly. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes before drizzling with the caramel sauce. Enjoy!
