There is something so comforting about a warm apple galette. Because it is a free form tart, you do not need to worry about crimping perfect edges or dealing with a top crust, which makes it perfect for a relaxed afternoon dessert.

I love how the pastry turns golden and flaky while the apples stay tender and spiced. It is a wonderful way to showcase fresh fruit and it always looks beautiful when you bring it to the table.

Ingredients

1 store bought or homemade pie crust
3 large baking apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter cut into small pieces
1 egg beaten with a splash of water for egg wash
1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling

11Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Peel, core, and slice your apples into thin wedges.
3
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with the sugar, flour, and cinnamon until they are evenly coated.
4
Roll out your pie crust on a lightly floured surface into a rough circle about 12 inches wide.
5
Transfer the crust to your prepared baking sheet.
6
Arrange the apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a two inch border around the edges.
7
Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating the pastry as you go to hold everything in place.
8
Dot the top of the apples with the small pieces of butter.
9
Brush the folded edges of the crust with your egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
10
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft.
11
Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips

Serve each slice warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days and reheat in the oven to keep the crust crisp.
