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.

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ¼ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
¼ cup ice water
1 egg, beaten, for brushing
1 tablespoon coarse sugar, for sprinkling
1 ½ lb granny smith apple, or Fuji apple, peeled, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅓ cup sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ cup heavy cream

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:

  • Use a sharp knife to slice the apples thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to brush the egg wash onto the galettes.
  • Be careful not to overcook the galettes. They should be golden brown and the apples should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Let the galettes cool slightly before serving. This will allow the caramel sauce to set and the flavors to meld together.
  • You can store the galettes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

These apple galettes with caramel sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
