Apple galette is a gala event with Gala Apples like these… or any organic red apples you can get your hands on apple picking!
Below is an easy apple galette pastry recipe that need no proofing. And the proof is when you make them (…and in photos below 😊).
They are made even more tasty sweet tart good with baked lemon.
If you’ve never had a baked lemon, you’re ready to be taken to a whole new lemon experience from the juicy bright citrusy one to a cooler weather vibe… but still prepare to pucker up! 🍋
So this occasion is a zesty candied lemon and apple event all-in-one. 🎉 And once-upon-a-time I spent my entire week dreaming up event tables with clients… and now I’m doing the same for you.
You can lean into the stuffed candy apples that are fun, easy, and healthy snacks to make that take less effort than apple bobbing… that’s an old apple water in a barrel game like juggling🤹
For this snack apple making craft, be sure to source organic apples for these desserts with the skin-on… where the skin stays on and you get all the fiber and anti-inflammatory vitamin benefits.
…Plus, there’s no waste to handle that’s good for our world that isn’t daily compostable just yet (Debby-Downer wah-wah-wah). 
…But hopeful it’s in the works… I believe. 🙏 And we have workarounds today like eating all the edible parts that’s not hard to do.
Which btw, you can do this sustainability move with fresh homemade juice too.
And for these apples, add some cinnamon to your apple-lemon (sweet and sour) for an irresistible zingy pairing. Add a douse of cinnamon that’s good for anxious energies. And cardamom if you want energy-energy. ⚡️
And when it comes out of the oven baked and spiced, you get to be transported a happy nostalgic mood through your senses. 💭
…Do you remember your first apple pie? I remember the apple pie 🥧 store where I grew up. It was out a ways that’s now a bustling town and part of the area I grew up in.
And in those happy memory vibes, you can make your own apple galette dessert in the shape you like 🥧, comfort of your kitchen and do no traveling… and have a cozy home and enjoyable experience no matter what the weather is outside.
As the Danes say, Hygge! 🎉
Easy Apple Galette (No Proofing)
Ingredients
- organic medium apples (red)
- cinnamon
- 1 cup flour of choice
- 1-1/2 cup dry oats
- lemon, cut in wedges
- lemon curd
- honey or maple syrup to shine
- 2 tbsp cold butter
- cold water
Instructions
- This will make a galette for 3 rows of medium sized apples.
- Prepare lemon curd on the stove. I low heat warm two eggs, lemon juice and zest, 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp flour stirring constantly for a few minutes until flour is fully blended in. I purposefully leave out sugar, but you can add some if you choose. Honey can be added at the end as shine. Let curd cool and refrigerate to help thicken while you prepare the rest of the steps. Save 2 thinly sliced lemons cut in half moons for decoration and taste.
- Prepare oat flour: pulse or grind oat into fine flour.
- Make the pastry shell: hand blend flours, cold butter, and add enough cold water to create a dough disc. Roll out onto your baking pan and create the pastry shape you like.
- Cut two sides of the apple up to the core so you get the arch sides. Cut into thin strips and keep each side intact. Add to the pastry shell along ith lemon slices.
- Add cinnamon on top and brush lemon curd throughout your galette.
- Bake at 325°F/165°C for about 75 minutes or 350°F/180°C for about an hour until deep golden brown. I usually turn the oven off around the hour mark and leave in oven another 15 minutes.
- About 15 minutes before turning off the oven heat, brush honey or syrup on pastry top and sides for additional shine and sweetness.
