CARAMEL APPLE GALETTE

Hey fam!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a recipe on here (I’ve missed you all!) but Fall is my favorite season to bake so I’m excited to share this Caramel Apple Galette. Think caramel apple meets hand pie with this recipe. Tender cinnamon apples, flaky crust and gooey homemade caramel sauce. It’s the perfect recipe to kick off Fall baking season!

Yield: Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

Crust:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 stick (4 ounces) cold unsalted butted, diced

3 tablespoons ice water

Filling:

3 large apples, such as honeycrisp

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons orange juice

1 teaspoon grated orange peel

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 tablespoon coarse sugar

Caramel sauce/Vanilla ice cream, optional

Instructions:

Prepare crust: Combine flour, sugar and salt in food processor bowl with blade. Pulse to combine. Add butter; pulse about 12 times until butter is pea-shaped. Add water and pulse until dough comes together. With floured hands, shape dough into a flat disc; wrap with plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Prepare filling: Peel apples; core and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. In large bowl combine apple slices, brown sugar, flour, orange juice and peel, cinnamon and nutmeg; toss to mix well.

Preheat oven to 450°F. On parchment paper, roll dough into 11-inch circle. Spoon apple mixture on dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch edge of dough. Gently fold dough over apple mixture, to make an edge. Brush dough with egg; sprinkle with sugar. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until crust is golden and apples are tender. Serve warm. If desired, drizzle with caramel sauce and serve with vanilla ice cream.
