APPLE GALETTE



Apple Galette image

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.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 sheet puff pastry, rolled to 1/8-inch thickness
4 baking apples - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/3-inch thick slices
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
⅓ cup superfine sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

APPLE GALETTE



Apple Galette image

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.

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.

FRENCH APPLE GALETTES

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed in the refrigerator
6 Granny Smith apples
3/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter, small-diced
3/4 cup apricot jelly or warm sieved apricot jam
3 tablespoons Calvados, rum, or water

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.

APPLE GALETTE RECIPE BY TASTY



Apple Galette Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: all purpose flour, sugar, kosher salt, unsalted butter, apple cider vinegar, ice water, egg, coarse sugar, granny smith apple, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, sugar, unsalted butter, sugar, salt, unsalted butter, heavy cream

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 GALETTE

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/3 cups plus 4 teaspoons pastry flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 ounces cream cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons ice water
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1/8 inch thick
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons milk, approximately
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1 tablespoon apricot eau de vie or Calvados

Steps:

  • Cut 8 tablespoons of the butter into 3/4-inch cubes. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze 30 minutes. Place flour and salt in a large freezer bag, and freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Place flour mixture in a food processor, and process for a few seconds to combine. Cut the cream cheese into 3 or 4 pieces, and add to flour. Process 20 seconds. Add frozen butter, and pulse until none of the butter is larger than a pea. Add water and vinegar, and pulse until butter is the size of small peas. The mixture will not hold together.
  • Spoon mixture into freezer bag. Knead in the bag until it holds together in one piece and feels slightly stretchy. Remove from bag, wrap in plastic wrap, flatten into a disk and refrigerate at least 45 minutes, preferably overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and set rack on lowest shelf. Place dough between two sheets of lightly floured plastic wrap. Roll out to 1/8 inch thick and, using a cardboard template, cut a 16-inch circle. Transfer to a 12- to 14-inch round steel pizza pan or an inverted baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle apple slices with lemon juice. Arrange slices on the dough, cored sides facing toward the center, overlapping in concentric circles, starting from the outer edge of the pan. Fold the border of dough over the apples' edge, pleating it. Brush rim with milk. Sprinkle apples and rim with sugar. Dot apples with remaining butter, and bake 40 minutes, or until apples are tender when pierced and dough is crisp. Cool tart on the pan on a rack until warm.
  • In a saucepan over medium-low heat, heat apricot preserves until boiling; strain. Stir in liquor, and brush onto the apples.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Pastry dough
2 tablespoons semolina (sometimes called semolina flour)
2 pounds Golden Delicious apples (about 4), peeled, cored, and each cut into 8 wedges
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons confectioners sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Roll out dough into a 13-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Transfer to an ungreased 17- by 14-inch baking sheet. Sprinkle semolina over dough, leaving a 2-inch border all around.
  • Toss apples with lemon juice and zest in a large bowl, then mound on top of semolina (leaving border) and sprinkle granulated sugar over apples. Fold in dough border over apples, pleating dough as necessary, to form a 9-inch round.
  • Bake galette 30 minutes, then loosely cover with foil and bake until apples are tender and crust is golden, 25 to 30 minutes more. Remove galette from oven and turn on broiler.
  • Dust apples with confectioners sugar and broil 5 to 6 inches from heat until apples are just golden, 1 to 3 minutes (watch carefully; sugar burns easily). Slide galette from baking sheet onto a rack, then cool to warm or room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Look for firm, tart apples like Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp. These apples will hold their shape well during baking and provide a nice contrast to the sweet filling.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a good quality butter: This will give the galette a rich, flaky crust.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Just mix it until it comes together, then let it rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Bake the galette until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the galette cool slightly before serving: This will help the filling set and prevent it from running out.
  • Serve the galette with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

Apple galettes are an easy and delicious dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a simple crust and a sweet, tart filling, apple galettes are the perfect way to use up those extra apples. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give this apple galette recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
