We baked! If you know us well, you know we’re not too handy at baking sweets. But this year, inspired by creating a Thanksgiving menu, we set out to create a dessert fit for a special meal. And what we came up with was a free form apple pie: this apple galette. It’s easier than a pie: and prettier, we’d argue! Keep reading for the apple galette recipe.
How to make an apple galette
Our vision for this apple galette was something light and fresh! We wanted an apple recipe that was not too heavy after a large meal, but still special enough to top off an elegant evening. We came up with this apple galette—a free form pastry crust, filled with sliced local apples and a pomegranate seed garnish. It’s sweetened only with a bit of honey and the natural sweetness of the fruit. The cinnamon and ginger spiced apples and pomegranate seeds are sweet and slightly tart, a nice foil to the flaky and salty crust. The hardest part about any pie is the crust! (For a standard pie, here’s our homemade pie crust recipe.) Here we’ve used our whole wheat galette dough recipe. It’s perfectly flaky, but has the added flavor and nutrients of a bit of whole wheat flour. For this apple galette recipe, all you have to do is roll the dough into a circle. Then add the toppings, fold down the crust, and pop it in the oven! There’s no need for a pie pan or fluting the crust like other types of pie recipes. This apple galette is a fairly healthy dessert as far as desserts go: the pieces are small, and it’s naturally sweetened. Plus, it’s a lot of fun to make, especially if you have a bit of help from a friend or family member! We hope you enjoy this apple galette recipe as much as we did—we’re already thinking of excuses to make it again!
