Apple-Cinnamon Galette

What's a galette?
It's simply a freeform, flat round pasty filled with fruit or vegetables, served hot or cold.



John loves apple pie - I don't enjoy making pies at all, and I don't particularly like pies, so we compromise and I often make a galette.  They've got all the delicious elements of pie: a flaky crust and tender baked cinnamonny apples. I don't have to crimp any edges or cut a pretty design on a top crust, so I think that it's ok to take the easy road.  I also use prepared pie crust, so making a galette is so much easier than a pie!

 Apple Galette


3 apples, peeled and cut into small chunks
2 T sugar
1/2 T cinnamon  (I used 1 T)
1/2 T flour
Mix all together and microwave for 1 minute to soften the apples a bit
Lay one round of prepared pie crust on a cookie sheet covered with a sheet of parchment paper.  Drop the apple filling in the center of the pie crust and bring the edges towards the center working left to right.  
Brush the crust with a beaten egg and dust crust with sugar
Bake for 40 minutes @ 400°








Easier than a pie anyday!


Ironically, even though I don't like pies, I made this last month:
