APPLE GALETTE WITH PUFF PASTRY
This is a combination of at least 3 recipes. I was feeling motivate to make an apple pie, then a crostata and got lazy. I didn't feel like making a pastry crust. So I searched and searched and found that puff pastry was an option, so here ya go! Enjoy! Prep times includes thaw time for the puff pastry sheet.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Thaw 1 sheet of puff pastry, about 30-40 minutes. Once thawed, unfold. If it cracks, press the seams together with wet fingers.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. *a four sided baking sheet works best in case of drips.
- Halve apples, core>with melon-baller, peel apples. Slice into thin half moons. Place into a bowl. NOTE: *It is important to slice them thin or the pastry sheet will be done before the apple bake tender.
- Combine sugar and spices. Pour over the apples and toss to coat.
- You will make 3 rows of apples, leaving almost an inch of pastry exposed, all the way around.
- Overlap the apple slices one on top the other covering the apple by 2/3 because the apples will shrink while baking. Dot apple slices with butter.
- Make egg wash (mix egg and water together) and brush over the exposed pastry crust.
- Bake for about 15 minutes. Rotate once during baking. If the crust is puffed up and golden brown and apples tender, it's done.
- Meanwhile -- In a glass bowl add the calvados to the apricot preserve. Warm in the microwave for 20-30 seconds and stir. Warm a bit longer if necessary to thin.
- While the galette still hot, brush with apricot & calvados mixture.
- Serve warm with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.

DESSERT GALETTE PASTRY
A galette is a free-form pie, more rustic than a tart, that is baked directly on a sheet pan or baking stone. Although they're usually made with classic buttery pie dough or puff pastry, I've developed this yeasted dough recipe, which is delicate and tasty but not too rich. The yield is enough for two galettes, but has only 60 grams of butter (about four tablespoons). It's sort of a cross between a pizza dough and pie-crust dough, wholesome because of the addition of whole-wheat flour but not heavy. Almond flour contributes a nutty flavor and delicate texture, but it's optional. The trick is to roll it very thin, then freeze it right away so that it doesn't continue to rise and become too bready. Make sure to dust your work surface well before you roll out the pastry, and to let the dough rest for a few minutes after each few passes with the rolling pin so that it doesn't shrink back, as yeast doughs do. If you keep letting it rest, you won't have trouble achieving a thin 12- to 13-inch round.

Steps:
- Dissolve the yeast in the water. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the sugar, and allow the mixture to sit until it is creamy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg.
- Sift together the flours, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt into a large bowl or into the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle or a large bowl. Add the butter and work with your fingers or beat at low speed until the mixture is crumbly. Add the yeast mixture and stir or beat at low speed until the ingredients come together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently just until the dough is smooth, about a minute. Shape into a ball. Place in a lightly buttered bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise in a draft-free spot until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 2 equal pieces. Gently shape each piece into a ball without kneading it, cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Roll out into very thin rounds, about 12 to 13 inches in diameter. If you have a Silpat silicone mat, roll the dough out on the mat; otherwise, use a lightly floured surface and dust regularly with flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Cover a pizza pan or a baking sheet with plastic wrap and place the rolled-out dough on top. Wrap the edges of the plastic wrap over the dough and place plastic wrap on top. Roll out the other round, wrap in plastic and place on top of the first round. Freeze until ready to use.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the final product. Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Follow the Recipe Carefully: Especially for beginners, following the recipe precisely is crucial to ensure success. Baking is a science, and even small changes can have unintended consequences.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing can make your pastry tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill Your Dough: Chilling the dough before rolling and baking helps to prevent the pastry from becoming too soft and sticky.
- Use a Sharp Knife: When cutting the pastry, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even cuts.
- Don't Crowd the Pan: When baking multiple galettes, make sure to leave enough space between them so they can bake evenly.
Conclusion:
Galettes are a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there's a galette for every taste.
