A great rustic apple pie for Thanksgiving, this has very little butter in the pastry and a minimum of sweetening. It's all about the apples.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 1 9-inch galette, serving 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 dessert galette pastry (1/2 recipe)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 pounds slightly tart apples, like Braeburns, peeled, cored and cut in wedges (about 1/2 inch thick at the thickest point)
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) unsalted butter
1/4 cup (50 grams) plus 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar or turbinado sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup lightly toasted walnuts, chopped
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 cup (25 grams) almond flour
1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon milk, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Line 2 sheet pans with parchment. In a large bowl combine the lemon juice and apples and toss together.
  • Heat a large, heavy frying pan over high heat and add the butter. Wait until it becomes light brown and carefully add the apples and 1/4 cup of the sugar. Do not add the apples until the pan and the butter are hot enough or they won't sear properly and retain their juice. But be careful when you add them so that the hot butter doesn't splatter. When the apples are brown on one side, add the vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon and the nutmeg, flip the apples and continue to sauté until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the walnuts, then scrape out onto one of the lined sheet pans and allow to cool completely.
  • Remove the pastry from the freezer and place it on the other parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave to thaw while the apples cool, but don't keep it out of the freezer for too long. It's easiest to handle if it's cold and will thaw quickly. You just want it soft enough so that you can manipulate it.
  • Sprinkle the almond flour over the pastry, leaving a 2- to 3-inch border all around. Place the apples on top. Fold the edges of the dough in over the fruit, pleating the edges as you work your way around the fruit to form a free-form tart that is roughly 9 inches in diameter. Place in the freezer on the baking sheet for 45 minutes to an hour. This helps the galette maintain its shape.
  • Meanwhile preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the galette from the freezer. Brush the exposed edge of the pastry with the egg wash. Combine the remaining tablespoon of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over the fruit and the crust. Place in the oven and bake 1 hour, until the crust is nicely browned and the apples are sizzling. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

FAVORITE APPLE GALETTE



Favorite Apple Galette image

If you love pie, and your favorite part is the pastry, look no further. This pie will sure to be a new family favorite. This pastry dough is almost like a shortbread. It would also go well with pears or peaches. You don't even necessarily have to peel the apples!

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     French

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ⅛ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons ice water, or as needed
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup brown sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
1 tablespoon coarse sugar crystals

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 pie can keep its blue-ribbon status-the apple galette is easier to make than pie, has rustic good looks, and a delicious flavor. Just roll the dough; pile on fruit; fold the edges over in a lovely, rustic manner; and put it in the oven. In about an hour, you'll have a warming dessert to slice and top with vanilla ice cream.

Time 1h50m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 recipe Test Kitchen's Favorite Pate Brisee
4 teaspoons unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 pounds apples (see cooks note), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges (6 cups total)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond crystal)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Coarse or fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling

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.

Provided by Rie McClenny

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!

APPLE & HAZELNUT GALETTE



Apple & hazelnut galette image

Tailor our apple galette to your taste - add blackberries, swap the hazelnuts for almonds or pecans, or use pears or peaches instead of apple, if you like

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

50g light brown soft sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
½ lemon, zested and juiced
1 tbsp cornflour
1 tbsp maple syrup
3 Bramley apples, peeled, cored, halved and thinly sliced
20g hazelnuts, roughly chopped
double cream, to serve
80g hazelnuts
2 tbsp icing sugar
125g spelt flour
175g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
150g cold butter, cubed
1 egg, beaten

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 WITH WALNUTS AND RAISINS AND A STREUSEL TOPPING



Apple Galette With Walnuts and Raisins and a Streusel Topping image

What could possible be bad about apples, walnuts, raisins with a streusel topping. There are hundreds of such recipes but for some reason or other they all seemed to lack something. This recipe makes two deserts so you can freeze one for later use and there is never a question about their being homemade. While this recipe looks hard it is not. The trick to doing this easily and fast is to use time wisely. While the dough is cooling down, peel, core, and slice the apples. Prepare the balance of the apple mixture so that the mixture can be completed just before using. Make the struesel topping and have it ready to go once the apples are mounded on the dough in the tart pan. Note that some recipes for apple pies, tarts and galettes call for mixtures of apples. I have substitued, with good results, 2 or 3 Jonagold for an equivalent number of granny smiths. I also expect that Cortland, Macoun or Empire would also be good but I would still use the granny smiths in at least equal proportion.
