Description
A simple, rustic tart featuring sliced apples coated in caramel, baked in a free-form pastry crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts
- 6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently until the apples are evenly coated.
- Unroll one pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet. If using a rolled-out dough, shape it into a rough 12-inch circle.
- Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edge. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the apples.
- Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, overlapping the dough slightly to create a rustic border. The center of the filling will remain exposed.
- Brush the folded crust edges with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the warm apples before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute brown sugar for half of the granulated sugar in the apple mixture.
- If the crust begins to brown too quickly during baking, loosely cover the edges with aluminum foil.
- Serve the galette warm with vanilla ice cream for a complete dessert.
