Salted Caramel Apple Galette

This salted caramel apple galette. It’s my loved salted caramel apple pie but 97% easier. My wish is that you’ll be impressed to make one this Fall and maybe even quicker with all of the honeycrisp apples which are of their peaks as we speak. (type/read?)

Remember again while I professed my love for galettes? They’re the choice to pie when, you know, you don’t really experience like making an real pie. The simplest addition to pie goals. Speaking of, I assume this galette may be my in simple terms September contribution to my pie aims challenge. I’ve got cookies and cake and truffles within the September pipeline, so hopefully you won’t miss a brand new pie. I REALLY loved this pie challenge, so I’m brainstorming a November pie subject if you’re up for it?!



So again to galettes. Have you ever made one before? They’re friendly, approachable, and my favorite: low maintenance. Basically a free-form pie the place any probably errors are comforted within the truth which you just can’t mess this up. If you understand how you can fold dough over filling, you understand how you can make a galette. The greatest edge is that you’ll acquire heart-eyed reactions every time you serve an elaborate-looking galette, as within the event you slaved away for hours on cease to make anything so pretty and delicious.

A flaky dough constituted of easy foods like flour, butter, and ice chilly water is the place all of it begins. Make certain you sit back the galette crust earlier than rolling it out and filling it. When you roll out galette dough, don’t be a perfectionist. Oh how I love that thought! Whatever form the dough rolls out to be, depart it. If it’s no longer a right circle, who cares. The galette will nonetheless work its tasty magic.

You may make the galette crust forward of time. If you fully have your life together, you might even make this galette crust TODAY, freeze it, then have salted caramel apple galette for dessert *in a snap* on Thanksgiving day.

One factor to maintain in mind– and I’ve stated this about galettes before– is that no longer like pies the place you possibly can pile the fillings tremendous high, galette’s don’t actually find it irresistible when there’s too a lot filling. The crust will change into tender and no quantity of oven time might save it. Plus, you won’t have sufficient dough to fill over an over-filled galette! So here’s a tip: maintain the filling flat and compact, whereas leaving a 2-3 inch border so that you possibly can fold the rims over. Just like this:

There’s no squeezing something among these apples!

Flat and compact, flat and compact.

So about that salted caramel…

Drizzle a few of that liquid gold proper into the filling. Brush the best of the crust with a bit bit egg-wash to acquire that glossy golden brown crust, then best the entire factor with chopped walnuts for a bit bit crunch… or don’t… you'll be able to make the name at the nuts. 🙂

Bake till golden brown, then YOU KNOW what’s next.

The galette crust, equally flaky and buttery, is the quintessential dwelling to the nice and cozy and soft apple slices. Which are, via the way, swimming in brown-sugared, cinnamon-spiced, salted caramel enrobed goodness. Is this simple Fall dessert enjoyment or what?!

It’s also actually nice the subsequent morning for breakfast… the ice cream too.

Using a pastry cutter (love this one) or a pair forks, cut within the butter till the combination resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs. Add the water and stir till the flour is moistened. Add 1 additional Tablespoon of water if the dough appears dry. Gently knead the dough a pair of occasions on a frivolously floured work floor till all of it comes together. Shape the dough right into a ball and flatten it right into a thick disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at the very least 1 hour and as much as 3 days (or freeze as much as 3 months).
