Ingredients

  • 1 rolled pie crust try our all-butter flaky crust, all-shortening flaky crust, or use a storebought crust
  • 1 large apple or 2 small
  • 1 large pear or 2 small
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoons beaten egg or 2 tablespoons milk optional, for wash
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar optional, for topping
  • 1 tablespoon apricot jam optional, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Place crust on a large cookie sheet (may line with parchment if desired for better cleanup).
  3. Peel and dice apple and pear into long, thin slices.
  4. Toss together flour, sugar, fruit, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
  5. Place filling in the middle of the rolled crust, leaving a minimum of one inch around the edges.
  6. Gently fold the first edge in about one inch toward the center. Rotate slightly around the shell and fold the next piece, pinching together the overlapping “corner”. Repeat until all edges have formed what map appear to be a rustic pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, or octagon.
  7. Brush egg wash or milk wash on the folded over parts of the crust. (optional)
  8. Sprinkle top and crust with sugar. (optional)
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until apple is as tender as desired.
  10. If crust begins to brown too quickly, tent tinfoil over galette.
  11. Right before serving, warm up the apricot jam slightly and spread over the fruit center to give it a beautiful shine!
