The Flavor of Fall

A delicious recipe featuring autumn's signature fruit, the apple

Easier than pie but with all the same textures, this gooey warm dessert is sure to please. For simplicity, this can be made with a premade crust.

Apple Galette With Caramel Drizzle

Crust Ingredients:

·        1 1/2 cups flour 

·        1/4 cup sugar

·        1/4 teaspoon salt

·        1 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed

·        1/4 cup iced cold water

Filling:

·        2 apples, peeled and sliced into thin slices 

·        1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

·        1 1/2 tablespoons flour

·        1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice 

·        1 teaspoon cinnamon

·        1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

·        Optional: 1/4 chopped walnuts or pecans

·       Caramel sauce

Instructions:

 Crust:

(Note: If running short on time, store bought crust works great, too.)

Mix flour, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Cut in the butter. Add water and mix until moistened. Lightly knead the dough and then form into a ball. Next, flatten dough into a thick circular form and refrigerate for one hour.

Filling:

Mix the apples, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar together in a bowl. 

Assemble and Bake:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into a circle and set on parchment paper. Arrange apples in center of dough, leaving about one inch of space for the edges. Fold crust over the apples and press to seal edges. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with pecans or walnuts. Bake for 35 minutes. Serve with caramel sauce and ice-cream.
