FRENCH APPLE GALETTE image

This is a fabulous looking and tasting recipe using things usually in every kitchen. Great with a morning cup of coffee, and oh-so-good-looking for company. After baking, each square can be cut again into quarters, leaving a great finger dessert at a potluck dinner. So each .. so good. (Recipe originally courtesy of Ina...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
6 apples, good for baking
3/4 c sugar (I used slightly less)
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, cold, small diced
3 Tbsp water, rum, or calvados
3/4 c apricot or apply jam

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.
