This Super Easy Apple Galette is a rustic, free-form apple tart perfect for a quick and delicious dessert. Featuring thinly sliced, spiced apples wrapped in a flaky pie crust and baked until golden brown, it’s a delightful treat that can be enjoyed warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 1 galette (serves 4)

Ingredients

Crust

  • One 9 inch pie crust

Filling

  • 2 large apples
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar + a little extra for sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the galette.
  2. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out your 9-inch pie crust on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  3. Prepare Apples: Slice the apples very thinly, peeling them is optional based on your preference. In a bowl, toss the apple slices with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, and lemon juice until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
  4. Assemble Galette: Arrange the spiced apple slices onto the rolled-out crust, leaving about a 1-inch border all around. You can arrange the apples in any pattern or simply pile them without a specific design.
  5. Fold Edges: Carefully fold the edges of the pie crust over the apples, gently pinching to seal and keep the filling contained.
  6. Egg Wash and Sugar: Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the exposed crust to give it a beautiful golden color when baked. Sprinkle a little extra brown sugar on top of the crust for added sweetness and crunch.
  7. Bake: Place the galette in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender and cooked through.
  8. Serve: Enjoy the galette warm. It pairs wonderfully with ice cream or whipped cream, or simply as it is.

Notes

  • Peeling the apples is optional; leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice apples thinly and evenly.
  • You can substitute brown sugar with white sugar or honey if preferred.
  • For a crispier crust, chill the rolled pie dough before adding the apples.
  • The galette can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated before serving.
