Puff Pastry Apple Galette

Kind of like an Apple Pie without all the work. This Puff Pastry Apple Galette is my take on the traditional French Tart. By using store bought puff pastry and a simple homemade apple filling, this comes together quickly. A wonderful fall dessert for any day of the week or even special occasions like Thanksgiving.

Ingredients

  • 8 Apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 10 inch sheet Puff Pastry thawed
  • 4 tablespoon granulated white sugar divided
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons butter cold, cut into small cubes
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg whisked for the egg wash

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees f/180 degrees c. Have ready a large baking sheet.
  • Peel, core and thinly slice the apples.
  • Place the apples in a large bowl with 3 tablespoons of the sugar, cinnamon, corn starch and lemon juice. Stir to combine
  • Unroll the thawed puff pastry and place on a sheet of parchment paper. Put it on top of the baking tray.
  • Cover the puff pastry with the apples, allowing a 2-inch border. Fold the sides over the top of the apples.
  • Dot small pieces of the cold butter over the top of the apples.
  • Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
  • Bake for 30 - 40 minutes or until apples are cooked and the pastry is puffed and golden.
  • Remove from oven and allow to set for about 30 minutes before cutting. Will keep for two days.

Notes

  • Don't over stuff the Galette - over stuffing will most likely not allow the base to bake properly and you could end up with it being soggy.
  • Use cooking apples - Apples like Granny Smith, Pink Lady or Honeycrisp work really well.
  • Cold puff pastry and cold butter is key - Cold puff pastry is easier to work with and bakes better in the oven.
