I could not be more excited to make a galette. If you've been following me for a while, or have spoken to me in person or through social media, you know that I have an irrational fear of pastry or yeasted desserts. Why? I couldn't tell you. Maybe it's because it's something totally different for me than making a brownie or a cookie. It takes a great deal of patience, love, and precision when making crust or pastries, and so I decided that there's no time like the present to get dirty with some pie crust. This rustic pear and apple galette is literally perfect. A ultra flaky, buttery crust filled with cinnamon and baked brown sugar sliced pears and apples, folded over on the sides to add to the beauty that is a galette. I've made four more galettes since this version, and I am dying to make a fifth.
Pears and apples are the perfect fall fruit to add to just about any dessert. Making my first galette with these two fruits was only necessary for this season. What I love about making galettes in general is that there is no right or wrong way to make it. When you have your dough rolled out and ready to fill, you can shape the galette however you see fit. This first version was super rustic, the filling seeped out on all sides, but was insanely flaky, buttery, and filled with delicious seasonal flavor. This dough is ready within minutes, and with a patient chill time of just an hour, you'll be eating this galette in no time.
I will never stop making galettes, and eventually pies, now that I've found my base recipe. The possibilities are endless for galettes, and I fully intend on making some savory versions in the New Year. I cannot wait to hear what you think about this one; your loved ones will be blown away with your dessert at the holiday table.
There is never a bad time for pie. When pie is in the form of a galette, it's even BETTER. This fall-themed pear and apple galette will be the perfect addition to any holiday tablescape. Trust me, you will win this holiday season with this easy-to-prep and easy-to-bake galette recipe.
