Recipe Description

Get in touch with your French side with this Homemade Apple Galette! Galettes are super French, although maybe more rustic French farmhouse than chic Parisian cafe. They have a really distinctive look, as the edges of the pastry base are folded up over the filling before baking, so it looks a bit like a cross between a tart and a pie.

The filling, whether sweet or savory, pokes its head out in the middle. In this galette recipe I’ve used apples, but you can use whatever you fancy – peach works wonderfully! The soft apple, fragrant with cinnamon, tastes delicious against the crisp and buttery pastry. Just a reminder to make sure the butter is thoroughly chilled before you start to make the pastry – very important!

To make Homemade Apple Galette, you will need the following ingredients:
