Indulge in Fall with This Delectable Autumn Apple Galette

Introducing: Autumn Apple Galette

Hello, lovely readers! Today, I am sharing a delightful Fall dessert that captures the essence of the season with its warm, comforting flavors. As the leaves change color and the air turns crisp, there’s nothing quite like indulging in a homemade treat that celebrates the bounty of autumn. Join me in creating this mouthwatering Autumn Apple Galette that is sure to become a new favorite in your dessert repertoire.

Ingredients:

• all-purpose flour (200g)
• granulated sugar (100g)
• unsalted butter, cold and cubed (150g)
• salt (a pinch)
• ice water (60ml)
• apples, thinly sliced (3 medium)
• cinnamon (1 tsp)
• lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
• brown sugar (50g)
• egg, beaten (1)

Kitchen Tools:

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

To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, a little 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 apples by tossing them with cinnamon, lemon zest, and brown sugar in a separate bowl. Once the dough has chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rough circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go.

Brush the crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden shine. Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. Allow the galette to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy this Autumn Apple Galette warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

The cooked dish weighs approximately 800g, with 8 servings at 100g each. Each serving is approximately 250 calories.

For a unique twist, try adding a handful of chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts to the apple filling for extra crunch and flavor. This unexpected addition will take your Autumn Apple Galette to the next level!

I hope you give this recipe a try and let the flavors of fall delight your taste buds. Feel free to make it your own by experimenting with different apple varieties or adding your favorite spices. Happy baking!
