Caramel apple puff galette

If you love apple pie but don’t like the fuss, this easy caramel apple puff pastry galette is the recipe of your dreams. So easy and SO delicious.

I’m not even going to be humble about this: This caramel apple puff pastry galette is by far the most delicious dessert I’ve eaten this year. You can trust me on this one, it is CRAZY good.

And yes, I am a little biased. Because a) this is my creation and b) I am obsessed with apple-pastry-anything. If you give me apples baked in pastry, I’m pretty much definitely loving it. But this is almost like an apple pie and an apple tarte tatin had a delicious baby and then I topped it with ice cream and more caramel. *swoon*

So pay attention because this is going to go quick. Peel and thinly slice apples. Toss with sugar, flour and flavourings. Pile onto puff pastry. Drizzle with caramel sauce. Bake until golden brown and gorgeous. Top with ice cream and more caramel. Done. EAT. <- This is our favourite part, yes?

Cook’s notes for Apple galette

1. The apples will release liquid when baking. To combat this, sprinkle them with salt and sugar and allow to sit for 10 minutes then drain the apples. Alternatively, you can par-cook the sliced apples in the microwave for 3-4 minutes then drain and proceed with the recipe.
2. Using shop-bought puff pastry makes this recipe easy and delicious but feel free to use any pie crust or dough. Sweet shortcrust pastry works very well.
3. If you can’t find dulce de leche, any caramel sauce will work.

Can you make apple galette ahead?

Yes, you can assemble the galette all the way up to baking then cover well and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.

1. Chai spiced oatmeal with caramelized apples
2. Classic apple pie with cinnamon cream
3. Apple Fritters with spiced sugar
