Caramel Apple Galette

I have two Galette recipes for you this week. This one is my favorite one. it’s a quicker version of my caramel apple pie. A few days after Christmas we were at a friends for dinner and I was given two packages of pre made pie dough as our friends Christmas plans and menu changed due to the ice storm we had on Christmas Day. Our roads will filled with accident after accident, so many people changed or cancelled plans. So to not let the crusts go to waste I made two of these Caramel Apple Galettes, one for us and one for our friends! This would be great served with vanilla or caramel swirl ice cream.

INGREDIENTS

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
2 Tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Drizzle of caramel sauce
2 1/2 Tablespoons Raw sugar-course finishing sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoon water

DIRECTIONS

Heat oven to 425 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with tin foil. In a mixing bowl combine apple, flour, cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and pecans. Mix well to combine.
Lay the crust out on the lined baking sheet, mound the filling in the center of the crust leaving about 2 inch margin around the edge of the crust. Fold a section of the crust up partially covering the fruit, continue to do this around the entire galette.

Make an egg wash by mixing the egg and water together and brush the outside 0f the crust with the wash then sprinkle the raw sugar over the top of the egg wash. Bake for 20 or so minutes watching close as too not burn. Remove from oven and drizzle the top of the galette with your favorite caramel sauce. (The same kind you would put on ice cream)

Enjoy!
