Apple Galette aka The Easiest Apple Tart Ever is a recipe that you will use continuously from this point on … I promise!
A lot of people feel there is too much time and effort needed in making their own pastry, let alone a flaky pastry, but, being a rather lazy cook myself I know that this one will turn you into a pastry maker forever.
The pastry is done in a food processor in under 1 minute. It is then pressed into a ball and placed into the fridge till you are ready to roll it out and add the filling… See! So incredibly easy. You really can’t mess this pastry recipe up.
Once you’ve got the pastry, the filling combinations are endless; peach, berries, rhubarb, whatever.
If you want to make a savoury filling, say a mushroom galette, then omit the sugar and use half a whole wheat flour for added savouriness. Cook down the filling so as to not make the pastry soggy, making sure the filling is completely cold before placing on the pastry and cook for the 40 minutes or so.
Tip: cover the base of the rolled out pastry with a thinnish layer of flour that will absorb any excess liquid from your filling.
This is an amazingly simple recipe for an end result that is an incredible centrepiece.
Happy pastry sculpting, Blondie 🙂
