Easy Apple Galette
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!
So how to cook Homemade Apple Galette?
Steps to make Easy Apple Galette
1 | Make the pastry | 5 |
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut the cubed butter into the flour mixture until it forms pea-sized crumbs. | ||
2 | Add the sour cream | 5 |
Add the sour cream and fold in gently until just mixed. Form the dough into a ball. | ||
3 | Chill the pastry | 30 |
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour. | ||
4 | Mix the apple filling | 3 |
Add the apple slices, apple or lemon juice, cinnamon and sugar to a bowl and toss well together until the apple is fully coated. | ||
5 | Heat the oven | 5 |
Preheat the oven to 350°F. | ||
6 | Roll out the pie crust | 3 |
Dust your work surface and a rolling pin with flour. Roll the pastry out, rotating it a quarter of a turn every couple of rolls to make a circle. It should be around a quarter of an inch thick. Lay the pastry on a greased and lined baking sheet. | ||
7 | Add the apple filling | 3 |
Spoon the apple slices into the center of the pastry, or lay them out in a circular design, with the slices overlapping, leaving a couple of inches of spare pastry around the edge of the circle. | ||
8 | Shape the galette | 1 |
Fold the excess dough into the center of the pastry, so it covers the outer inch or two of the apples. | ||
9 | Add some butter | 1 |
Cut the two tablespoons of butter into cubes and scatter across the apples. | ||
10 | Make the egg wash | 1 |
In a small bowl, mix the egg and water together. Brush the egg wash over the pastry and sprinkle with sugar. | ||
11 | Bake the galette | 45 |
Bake the galette for 35-45 minutes, until the crust has turned a golden brown. | ||
12 | Serving Homemade Apple Galette | |
Leave the galette for a few minutes to cool. Then slice and serve with a spoonful of ice-cream. | ||

Crowd pleaser 101 its very delicious and fun.
This was super fun to make!! I shaped mine as a heart and drizzled a lottt of chocolate sauce on the top.
I recommend refridgerating the dough over night so that its nice and cold but soft enough to form but not enough to fall apart instantly.
No real difference between this and apple pie in my opinion but it's not bad.
Big hit with the family and was gone instantly! we added some cinnamon to the top and crushed up almonds.
If the apple becomes mushy at the bottom its completely normal because of the natural juices so dont stress abou that and just enjoy your galette!
My kids love this with caramel on the top its a cute little dessert for the kids, i put a bit of chocolate and vanilla icecream on the top too for them and sprinkles :) go all out with this one !
Very good galette never even tried French food up until today and after this dessert I'm going to be going on a spree lol.
Affordable tasty and fun design.
Dough was dry and crumbly not sure what i did wrong.
If youre like me and make your own caramel make sure that when the caramel turns milky brown you turn the heat on low or it'll become black and burn.
Kinda time consuming but worth it in the end I think the flavor is very similar to apple pie though so i decided to add a bit more things to mine.
Loved it thought i made it way too small next time going to go for two of them.
Can't get enough of this type of dessert wouldnt even mind getting fat after a bite of this haha.
Forgot to take a picture got too excited after pulling it out of the oven :( !!
Legit this recipe is fail proof you just can't go wrong with it it's easy to make and anything can be added/removed. I put some lemon zest and topped the galette with a bit of almonds and walnuts.
Salted caramel and vanilla ice cream= perfection.
Delicious! Absolutely fantastic dessert and so simple to make.
Mine was so soggy and not too tasty I actually liked the apple pie toast more.
Dasha youve outdone yourself again! such a yummy galette and it was easy to make thanks so much for sharing it with us.
