RUSTIC FRUIT GALETTE image

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups apples, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons (or more to taste) white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) prepared pie crust (e.g. Pillsbury)
1 tablespoon water (optional)
1 teaspoon white sugar (optional)
1 egg white (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
Combine apples, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Place pie crust on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon apple mixture into the center of crust, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold crust over the edges of the apple mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until apples are tender and crust is golden, about 30 minutes.
If you want extra sparkle, brush the crust with a glaze of 1 egg white, 1 tablespoon water, and then sprinkle a teaspoon sugar over the crust and fruit.
Note: Substitute pears or peaches for the apples, if desired. A 1/2 cup of blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries can also be added.
Note: Apple pie spice can be substituted for the cinnamon, if desired.
