Theme: Kid's Delight -- Oven Baked Snacks
Dish: Apple Galette
For the 3rd day of blogging marathon# 37, I have this simple and easy to make apple galette that I actually made couple of months ago. My son has been asking me to make apple pie for quite some time now. I didn't want to bake a full fledged apple pie as I wasn't totally convinced if he'd really like it or not. So I took the easy route and made this galette with the spelt crust scraps leftover after making this quiche recipe.
Pie crust - store bought or homemade
Apples - 2~3 medium, peeled and thinly sliced
Brown Sugar - 1~2tbsp
Ground Cinnamon - ½tsp
Toffee bits - 2~3tbsp (optional)
Turbinado Sugar - 1~2tbsp
Melted butter - 1tbsp
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a parchment.
- Roll out the pie crust into a circle, about ¼" thick and as big as you can with the crust you have.
- Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Layer the apple slices slightly overlapping each other starting from the outside leaving 1" border to the center of the galette.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar-cinnamon and the toffee bits (if using) evenly over the apples.
- Fold the crust over the apples, press gently to adhere the folds.
- Brush the crust with melted butter and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 30~35 minute or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Remove from the oven and place it on a wire rack for 5 minutes before slicing.
