Apple Galette Recipes

APPLE GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Remove chilled dough from refrigerator, unwrap, and place on a lightly floured work surface. Let stand about 10 minutes (to soften slightly). Bang on dough with a rolling pin (to begin flattening and soften a bit more).
• Dust top and pin with flour, position pin on center of disk, and begin rolling dough away from you. Give disk a quarter-turn and roll again. Continue turning and rolling in this manner until you have a 13-inch round with an even 1/8-inch thickness. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate while making filling.
• In a large bowl, combine apples, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, salt, and cinnamon. Spread filling evenly over dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Fold edges of dough up and over apples, leaving most of fruit exposed and overlapping dough as needed. Brush dough with beaten egg; sprinkle with sanding sugar. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
• Bake until crust is golden, apples are tender, and juices are bubbling in center, 1 hour to 1 hour and 5 minutes. Using a pastry brush, spread some of juices from center of galette over apples. Transfer sheet to a wire rack; let cool 10 minutes. Using a large spatula, loosen galette from parchment and move away from any released juices (so it doesn't stick to parchment as it cools). Slide galette (still on parchment) onto rack and let cool. Serve warm or room temperature.

APPLE GALETTE RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

FRENCH APPLE GALETTES

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.

FAVORITE APPLE GALETTE

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.

APPLE & HAZELNUT GALETTE

Steps:

• First, make the pastry. Blitz the hazelnuts and sugar in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the spelt and plain flours, butter and a good pinch of salt, and blitz again until all of the butter has been incorporated and the mixture is sandy. With the motor running, drizzle in 1-2 tbsp cold water until the dough starts to form in clumps. Squeeze a little between your fingers - if it feels like it will come together, tip the mixture onto your work surface and knead briefly into a ball. Shape into a disc, wrap and chill for 30 mins or overnight.
• If the pastry has been chilled for longer than 30 mins, let it come to room temperature for 20 mins before rolling. Mix the brown sugar, lemon zest, cornflour and maple syrup together in a large bowl. Add the apples and toss well. Set aside while you roll out the pastry.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Dust a sheet of baking parchment large enough to line a large baking tray with flour, then roll the pastry out to a roughly 30cm circle on top of the parchment. The pastry will crack and crumble a little as you roll it, but just keep pushing the edges back together - don't worry if it looks rustic. Slide the pastry on its parchment onto the baking tray. Pile the apple slices into the centre of the pastry circle using your hands, letting any excess syrup drip back into the bowl as you do (save the syrup for later). Be sure to leave a clear 2cm border around the edge. Use the baking parchment to help you lift the edges of the pastry over the apples, leaving the most of the apples exposed. Pinch together any cracks around the edge to make a rustic pastry border.
• Brush the pastry edge with some beaten egg, sprinkle with a little extra brown sugar and scatter over the hazelnuts. Bake for 50-55 mins until golden brown. Meanwhile, pour any leftover syrup from the apples into a small saucepan and bubble for a few minutes until syrupy. When the galette is cooked and still hot, brush the syrup over the top. Leave to cool for at least 30 mins, then serve warm with cold cream. Will keep in the fridge for up to two days, or freeze in well-wrapped slices for up to two months.

APPLE GALETTE

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.
