Apple Galette
Apple Galette
Apple Galette is a simple recipe that can be used whenever you find you have too many apples, berries, plums or almost any fruits. Another aspect is that you don’t have to have any particular pie form, a simple baking tray lined with parchment is enough. Perfect for the summer house where baking equipment is always at a minimum.
It can be any shape or size, it all depends on how much fruit or pie dough you have on hand. There are no rules, its all about using
whats on hand. You can even make vegetable galettes filled with vegetables and cheese for lunches, brunches or light dinners.
