This Caramel Apple Galette is a quick and easy dessert to make when you are short on time. Serve it warm from the oven with a scoop of ice cream or dusted with some powdered sugar.
Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Grease and flour a 7 or 8 inch pie plate.
In a large pan or pot add the butter and melt. Add the chopped apples, brown sugar and water, gently mix to combine. Cook on medium heat, stirring often until the apples are tender, when the sauce starts to thicken gently stir in the cinnamon and continue to cook until the sauce has thickened, approximately 15 minutes to cook and thicken the sauce.
Roll out the dough and fit into the pan, prick the bottom well with a fork, pour in the apple mixture and gently cover with the extra dough that hangs over the pan.
Brush the dough with a little milk and bake until the crust is golden, approximately 25-30 minutes. Let cool or serve warm. Serve with a scoop of ice cream or dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
I like to use my Brown Sugar Pie Crust, Homemade Pie Dough or if you want to give it an Italian flair you can use this Italian Pie Crust. I probably wouldn’t use puff pastry only because it won’t stay closed on the filling because it puffs up during baking.To keep the dough from being soggy you can sprinkle first with some bread crumbs, or brush with an egg wash or even some apricot jam.Any leftovers can be stored at room temperature on a plate covered tightly with plastic wrap. It will keep for up to 2-3 days. You can also store it in the fridge wrapped tightly in plastic wrap on a dish. It will keep for up to 5-6 days refrigerated.You can also freeze it, cool it completely, then wrap well in plastic wrap and store in a freezer safe bag or container. It will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the fridge and warm in a low oven or microwave before serving.
