Moist, Delicious and Easy Apple Gallette
I had a serious craving for an apple filled sweet indulgence the other day (yep, that is kind of continuous thing). My Mr was not against a good apple pie either, so I pulled out this recipe and put it on the table (yes, it was really that easy!).
Apple gallette
Ingredients:
for the dough
1 cup flour (I used a 75/25% mix of white and whole wheat)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
chilled water, as needed (I used about 4 tbsp)
for the filling
2 medium apples peeled, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar (more or less depending on how tart your apples are)
Preparation:
For the dough, sift flour in a large bowl. Mix in sugar and salt. Cut in butter, working quickly, to prevent it from completely melting. Continue until the biggest pieces of butter are roughly the size of large peas. Add chilled water a tablespoon at a time until the dough just holds together. Gather dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
When the dough is ready, roll out on a floured surface or on plastic wrap to a circle about 1/8″ (about 0.3cm) thick. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F.
For the filling, place apple slices in a bowl with melted butter and sugar. Toss to coat. Overlap the apples in a circle 2″(about 5cm) from the edge of the dough. Continue spiraling inward until you’ve reached the center (or just pour it all in the middle – ha!) Fold over the edges of the dough, and sprinkle dough edge with sugar if desired.
Bake on middle rack of oven for 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
I have made this gallette 2 times that week, it was so incredibly delicious!!
¡Me encanta! 🙂 tiene una pinta buenísima
Gracias! Y ah, que rico – pruebalo! 🙂
Im definitely going to try this, tho i will probably play around to get the fat/sugar calories a bit less – but looks absolutely delicious!
Thank you : )) I’m really looking forward to your improved version, because I’d also prefer cutting back on all the ‘nasty’ 😉
Awesome! I might add it to the blog and link you – if thats ok with u of course 🙂
Sure 😉 mmmh apple gallette…. time is coming to make one again!!
Apples are on the grocery list right now – I love the looks of this. I could have apple pie every day, yes for breakfast which is a New England tradition that I’ll not argue with.
I agree it is a perfect choice for any time of the day 😀
This recipe looks so simple and so delicious – thank you for posting it. I think I may have to make it and put a slice in the kids’ lunches next week. I thank you too for visiting my blog about Irish Shortbread biscuits at inanirishhome.com. It’s always lovely when someone takes time to reach across the miles. Happy cooking and stay in touch. Kim
The wonders of around the globe blogging : )) I’m sure they will love this too! Really simple, there is also a very well made video at the original recipe’s site.
You know, I didn’t realise there was a video. I’ll be sure to check it out. Thank you. 😉
Actually I first saw the video somewhere, then looked up the site and I’m happy I did – this gallette is truly amazing!
