Store any leftover galette in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it for up to 5 days.
If you need a substitute for almonds, you can use ground walnuts or hazelnuts. Adjust the quantity to maintain similar texture and flavor.
The apples are done when they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. They should be slightly softened but not mushy.
Yes, you can use pie crust or shortcrust pastry as a substitute, but the texture will differ from the flaky layers of puff pastry.
Cooking Tips:

- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for the best flavor contrast with the sweet elements of the galette.
- Toast the almonds lightly before incorporating them into the recipe to enhance their flavor.
- Brush the edges of the puff pastry with beaten egg to achieve a beautifully golden crust.
