Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Apple Galette.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Lay out your rolled puff pastry on a round pizza pan or a baking sheet, setting the stage for a delightful treat.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, toss together the apple slices with a splash of lemon juice, ensuring each slice is beautifully coated.
Step 4
Sprinkle in the superfine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, and give it a good mix until the apples are enveloped in the fragrant blend.
Step 5
Center the apple mixture on the puff pastry, leaving a generous border around the edges.
Step 6
Gently fold the pastry edges over the apples, crafting a charming rustic border, and brush the folded edges with half of the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Step 7
Pop the assembled galette into the refrigerator for about 10 minutes; this brief chill allows the flavors to mingle and the pastry to firm up.
Step 8
After chilling, give the pastry edges a final brush with the remaining beaten egg.
Step 9
Slide the galette onto the top rack of your preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 10
After this initial bake, turn the galette a quarter turn and lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Step 11
Continue baking for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the pastry turns a lovely golden brown.
Step 12
Once it’s out of the oven, let the galette cool for about 10 minutes before serving, allowing the warm, spiced apple aroma to fill your kitchen and entice your guests.
Step 13
Enjoy this rustic apple galette as a perfect dessert or a sweet treat any time of day.
