Apple Galette
YumApple Galette: delightfully open-faced rustic treat that is quick and easy to make with store bought pie crust.
While doing a late Friday shopping for a weekend ahead, I have bought a package of ready to bake pie crust. The first idea for a weekend dessert was a classic apple pie but then I though of a galette since it has been months since I have made it. Among all sorts of apples, I have chosen Jonagolds, sweet and juicy.
When started to prepare the ingredients, I have measured the crust when unrolled: 10 x 16 inches so when cutting the circle for the galette, the diameter was 10 inches, before folding it. I did not even think of throwing the crust away ! I used it for flower shaped cookies to serve with Blackberry Apple Earl Grey Jam
Irresistible cinnamon flavor has filled the kitchen only a few minutes after the baking process started and signalized that colder and shorter days are coming, bringing the very special time of the year.
