Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For apple galettes:
1 (17 1/4 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg yolk
1/3 cup pure almond paste (not marzipan; 4 ounces)
7 tart, crisp baking apples such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 medium lemons)
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
For caramel sauce:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon salt
To serve:
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1 quart vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Make apple galettes:
  • Roll puff pastry dough to 1/4-inch thickness (the store-bought variety will most likely be this thickness). Using saucer or other 5-inch round as stencil, cut dough into 10 circles. Prick bottom all over with fork. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • In small bowl, whisk together egg and 2 teaspoons water. Brush each puff pastry circle with egg wash.
  • Roll approximately 1 teaspoon almond paste into ball, then flatten into disc and place in center of puff pastry circle. Repeat for remaining puff pastry circles. Arrange about 25 apple slices on top of each puff pastry circle. Brush each with lemon juice, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar. Bake until apples are tender and edges of puff pastry are light golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes.
  • Make caramel sauce:
  • In heavy 2-quart saucepan over moderately high heat, combine sugar with 1/4 cup water and bring to boil. Continue cooking, swirling pan occasionally (do not stir), until light golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cream and salt. Return to heat and bring to boil. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  • To serve:
  • Dust galettes with powdered sugar and serve with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream.

I've tried many apple galette recipes, but this one is by far the best. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the apples are perfectly tender. The caramel sauce is the perfect finishing touch.

The only thing I would change about the recipe is to use a bit less sugar in the caramel sauce. I found it to be a bit too sweet for my taste.

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can use any type of apples you like and you can even add other ingredients like nuts, spices, or dried fruit. I made a batch with cinnamon and nutmeg and they were divine.

The recipe is very easy to follow and the results are stunning. The galettes turned out beautifully golden brown and the caramel sauce is thick and luscious. I will definitely be making these again.
