APPLE GALETTE



Apple Galette image

A fancy yet simple version of apple pie. This version was conceived in a Montreal hotel room (with a full kitchen, nonetheless) after being inspired by all the apples at the Marche Jean-Talon. I hope you enjoy this! Why not try adding some raisins, dried cranberries, or even some almonds to the mix. Serve warm with a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 sheet puff pastry, rolled to 1/8-inch thickness
4 baking apples - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/3-inch thick slices
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
⅓ cup superfine sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
1 egg, well beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Lay puff pastry onto a round pizza pan.
  • Mix apples and lemon juice together in a bowl until evenly coated; add sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Toss to evenly coat apples. Spread apple mixture into the center of the puff pastry and fold edges of pastry toward the center. Brush the folded pastry edges with about 1/2 the egg.
  • Refrigerate pastry-apple mixture for flavors and pastry to settle, about 10 minutes. Brush pastry with remaining 1/2 egg.
  • Place pan on the top rack of preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Give galette a 1/4 turn and lower heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until pastry is lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly before serving, about 10 minutes.

FRENCH APPLE GALETTES

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed in the refrigerator
6 Granny Smith apples
3/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter, small-diced
3/4 cup apricot jelly or warm sieved apricot jam
3 tablespoons Calvados, rum, or water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • Unfold the sheets of puff pastry and cut each sheet into quarters. Place the pastry pieces on the prepared sheet pans and refrigerate while you prepare the apples.
  • Peel the apples and cut them in half through the stems. Remove the stems and cores with a sharp knife and a melon baler. Slice the apples crosswise in 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place overlapping slices of apples diagonally across each piece of pastry and place a slice of apple on each side. Sprinkle the full 3/4 cup of sugar over all the pastry pieces and dot with the butter.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, until the pastry is browned and the edges of the apples start to brown. Rotate the pan once during cooking. If the pastry puffs up in one area, cut a little slit with a knife to let the air out. Don't worry! The apple juices will burn in the pan but the galettes will be fine! When the galettes are done, heat the apricot jelly together with the Calvados and brush the apples and pastry completely with the jelly mixture. Loosen the galettes with a metal spatula so they don't stick to the paper. Allow to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.

APPLE GALETTE RECIPE BY TASTY



Apple Galette Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: all purpose flour, sugar, kosher salt, unsalted butter, apple cider vinegar, ice water, egg, coarse sugar, granny smith apple, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, sugar, unsalted butter, sugar, salt, unsalted butter, heavy cream

Provided by Rie McClenny

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ¼ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
¼ cup ice water
1 egg, beaten, for brushing
1 tablespoon coarse sugar, for sprinkling
1 ½ lb granny smith apple, or Fuji apple, peeled, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅓ cup sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Make the pie dough: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix with fork.
  • Add the butter and work into the flour with a fork until only pea-size lumps remain.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar and mix into the dough with your fingers. Gradually add the ice water and mix with your hands until the dough starts to come together. Add more water as needed if the dough is dry. The dough should not be very tacky or sticky. Shape the dough into a rough ball and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the apple filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar. Cook, stirring continuously, until the apples are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the butter and stir to incorporate. Remove the pan from the heat and let the filling cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a round that is about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick. Roll the dough around the rolling pin and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Spoon the apple filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border around the edges. Fold the edges over the apples. Brush the egg wash over the crust and sprinkle coarse sugar all over the galette.
  • Bake the galette for 25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, make the caramel sauce: In a small pot, combine the sugar, salt, and butter. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and turns amber in color, 2-3 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and stir with wooden spoon. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
  • Drizzle the caramel sauce over the galette, then slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ⅛ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons ice water, or as needed
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup brown sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1 tablespoon coarse sugar crystals

Steps:

  • Whisk 1 1/8 cups flour, white sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Press 1/2 cup butter pieces into flour mixture with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour water and vanilla into well; quickly work water and vanilla into flour to create a loose dough, adding more water if the dough is crumbly. You should be able to squeeze it in your hand and have it stay together but be a bit crumbly. Shape dough into a flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Stir brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Add apples and toss to coat. Let sit for flavors to blend, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Roll dough out into a large, rough circle on a baking stone or baking sheet. Pour apple mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch uncovered border, and dot apples with 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Fold edges of dough up over the apples, leaving an opening in the center. Dot dough with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle coarse sugar over the dough.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is crisp and golden and apples are tender and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Try using a mix of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to brush the melted butter on the crust.
  • To prevent the crust from getting too brown, cover the edges with foil or a pie crust shield.
  • If you want a crispier crust, bake the galette for a few minutes longer.
  • Let the galette cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Apple galette is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust and sweet apple filling, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. The best part about this recipe is that it is very versatile. You can use any type of apples that you like, and you can also add other ingredients such as nuts, spices, or dried fruits.
