Apple Cheddar Galette
This apple cheddar galette is the perfect combination of sweet and savory. It is so simple to make and perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 whole apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl add sliced apples, flour, maple syrup, apple pie spice, lemon zest and 1/3 cup cheese. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Roll out one refrigerated pie dough on parchment paper to create a 9-inch circle. Place the parchment paper and dough onto a baking sheet pan.
- Add apple mixture to the middle of the pie dough, making sure to leave 2-3 inches around the edges.
- Fold up the edges around the apple mixture. I like to fold a little piece over the piece before it, like a pleat.
- Brush the edges of the pie crust with heavy cream and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle on the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and bake for 15 minutes.
- Let the cooked galette cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting. This will help set up the juices in the galette.
Notes
- You can use homemade pie crust if desired.
- Keep your uncooked crust cold; only take it out of the oven before using it.
- If you like tart apples more, use Granny Smith.
- For sweet apples, use Fuji, Pink Lady, or Braeburn apples.
- I like to use an extra sharp Vermont cheddar.
