Wednesday, October 27, 2021
Galette's are a laid-back version of a pie. Typically filled with fruit, such as apples, pears or even peaches. This one has a buttery crust with a brown butter apple filling that creates a sweet and salty balance.
Ingredients
1 tart crust
¼ cup butter
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 lb. baking apples, scrubbed, sliced ⅛” thick
3 Tbsp. dark Muscovado sugar
1 large egg
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
Instructions
Follow the Tart Crust instructions until the blind baking instructions.
Place a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 375°
Place butter and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stirring often, until the butter foams and then browns. Approximately 5 - 8 minutes. Remove the butter from the heat.
Roll out the dough into a rough circle at ⅛" thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In the a medium size mixing bowl, add the apples and brown butter and throughly combine.
Arrange apples on top of the dough, overlapping and leaving a 1½” border. Sprinkle with the muscovado sugar.
Lift edges of dough over apples, tucking and overlapping as needed to keep rough circle shape. Though it will turn more in a pentago or octagon depending on the number of flap.s
Beat egg with 1 tsp. water in a small bowl and brush crust with egg wash. Sprinkle the crust with the granulated sugar.
Bake, rotating once, until apples are soft and juicy and crust is golden brown, 40–50 minutes.
Let cool slightly on baking sheet before slicing. Serve with vanilla ice cream or a bit of heavy cream.
