HOW TO MAKE APPLE GALETTE WITH PUFF PASTRY
to make this apple galette with puff pastry it is very simple. first prep your puff pastry. then in a large bowl add your apple slices, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg and clove. mix until combine. This is very important: let mixture sit for at least 30 minutes to let juices come out of the apples. Make sure to leave those juices behind or you will have a wet sloppy pastry. Next make the butter. it is key that your butter is softened. add your butter, brown sugar and spice t a small bowl and use a fork to smash and mix. Now assemble; make sure you do so in a lined baking sheet. start by spreading your butter into your puff pastry leaving a 1 inch boarder. assemble your apples on top of your butter leaving a 1 inch boarder. wrap your puff pastry edges onto your apples to create a crust. finish with an egg wash and bake! I like to serve it warm with ice cream and caramel!
HOW TO STORE APPLE GALETTE WITH PUFF PASTRY
I love to eat this warm, but if there is any left over I recommend slicing it up into individual servings and storing in an air tight container in the fridge. Then to warm it back up again, take out the slice you want to eat and bake it in the oven on a lined baking sheet at 375 degrees for 5 minutes. take out an enjoy!
APPLE GALETTE WITH PUFF PASTRY INGREDIENTS/ SUBSTITUTIONS
HONEY CRISP APPLES. So my all time favorite apple to bake with is honey crisp because it is the perfect balance of sweet and tart. but you can substitute this for any baking apple you desire like Granny Smith, Cortland, Fuji ect.
BUTTER. The layer of butter in this galette is key. It must be softened.
PUFF PASTRY. Traditional galettes are made with traditional butter pie crusts, and you can substitute this puff pastry for and pie crust recipe and it would be amazing. I recommend my go to pie crust recipe. But I chose to use puff pastry here because its quick easy and I love how flaky it is.
BROWN SUGAR. i use brown sugar for this because that molasses flavor adds so much depth to my galette. But you can use white sugar if you are out.
SPICES. I think this recipe has the PERFECT balance of fall spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and allspice. they all balance each other so well, working together to give you that perfect fall flavor. If you do not have all of these spice I recommend trying to get them for the best results, but at the very least make sure you have the cinnamon and allspice!
LEMON JUICE. I add lemon juice to preserve the color of the apples, to help extract some of the liquid from the apples and to add some much need citrus.
