Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface until they are about 1/8 inch thick.
- Transfer the rolled-out pastry sheets to the prepared baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground almonds, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1.5 tbsp of flour.
- Stir in one egg, 1/2 cup melted butter, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Spread this almond mixture evenly over the puff pastry sheets, leaving a border of about 1 inch around the edges.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with 2 tbsp of lemon juice, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1 tsp of cinnamon until the apples are well coated.
- Arrange the apple slices over the almond filling in a decorative pattern, slightly overlapping the slices.
- Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the edge of the apples, pleating it as necessary to make it fit nicely.
- In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg.
- Brush the beaten egg over the folded edges of the puff pastry for a golden crust.
- Place the galette in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Remove the galette from the oven and sprinkle the sliced almonds (2 tbsp) on top.
- Optionally, allow the galette to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the galette warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it plain, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- Ensure your puff pastry is thoroughly thawed before use to prevent cracking when rolling.
- 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.
- Allow the galette to cool slightly before slicing to help it hold its shape better.
Once baked to golden perfection, the Apple and Almond Galette offers a beautiful presentation and a delectable taste that promises to be a crowd-pleaser. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch. Whether you're an experienced baker or a novice in the kitchen, this recipe is straightforward and yields impressive results.
