Best French Apple Galette Recipes

FRENCH APPLE GALETTE

Steps:

• Thaw the puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, roll it out slightly to make it more flat, even and square. Using a 10-inch pan lid as your guide, cut out the largest disk possible with a pizza wheel and place it on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Chill it while you make the filling.
• Place the applesauce in a saucepan with the lemon juice, cinnamon, brandy, and lemon rind. Stir and bring to a simmer, then cook down to 3/4 cup. Spread it on a sheet pan to cool it to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Take out the puff pastry and spread the reduced applesauce on it to cover the surface of the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch edge. Fan the apple slices in concentric circles over the applesauce decoratively. Sprinkle all over evenly and lightly with sugar then dot it with butter. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes until the apples are tender and the edges are golden brown.

FRENCH APPLE GALETTE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• 2. Unfold pastry sheets, and cut each into quarters. Place the pastry pieces on prepared sheet pans and refrigerate while you prepare apples.
• 3. Peel the apples, and cut through the stems. Remove the stems/cores with a melon baller. Slice the apples crosswise in 1/4" slices. Place overlapping slides diagonally across each piece of pastry and a slice on each side.
• 4. Sprinkle each square with sugar (yes it will looks like ALOT). Dot with butter
• 5. Bake for 40 minutes, or until pastry is browned and apple edges start to brown. Rotate pans once during baking. If puffs puff-up, poke with a knife to release air. Juices will brown in the pan .. but galettes are fine!
• 6. Beat the jelly with the fluid. Brush galettes generously with the jelly mixture. Loosen from the pan and paper. Allow to cool before serving.
