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.

APPLE GALETTE
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.

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
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.

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!

Tips and Conclusion
Tips:
- For a flaky crust, use cold butter and puff pastry. Grate the butter and freeze it for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will help to create pockets of steam in the oven, which will cause the crust to rise and become flaky.
- Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
- Don't overcook the apples. They should be soft, but still hold their shape.
- Brush the crust with an egg wash before baking. This will help it to brown and become shiny.
- Serve the galette warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
