Unique Spiced Apple Galette Recipe

Today’s Recipe: Spiced Apple and Cheddar Galette

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m sharing a recipe that’s perfect for the cozy fall season. The combination of sweet apples, warm spices, and sharp cheddar cheese makes this galette a unique and delicious treat that’s sure to impress your friends and family.

To make this Spiced Apple and Cheddar Galette, you’ll need the following ingredients (approximate weights):

• 200g all-purpose flour
• 150g unsalted butter, cold
• 6 tbsp ice water
• 3 medium apples, thinly sliced
• 50g brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 100g cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 egg, beaten

You’ll also need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• pastry cutter
• rolling pin
• parchment paper
• baking sheet

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and cold butter, then use a pastry cutter to mix them until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

While the dough chills, prepare the filling by mixing the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese in the center of the dough, then arrange the apple mixture on top. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating a rustic galette shape.

Brush the edges of the galette with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Place the galette on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. Let it cool slightly before serving.

This Spiced Apple and Cheddar Galette weighs approximately 800g once cooked and serves 6. Each serving is about 133g and contains approximately 280 calories.

One clever tip for this galette is to sprinkle a little extra cheddar cheese on top of the apples before folding the edges of the dough. This creates a delicious cheesy crust that complements the sweet and spicy flavors of the filling.

I hope you give this Spiced Apple and Cheddar Galette a try and make it your own with different apple varieties or additional spices. Enjoy the process of baking and savoring this delightful fall dessert!
