3 Ingredient Caramel Pear Galette Recipes

3-INGREDIENT CARAMEL-PEAR GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Unroll pie crust onto a piece of parchment, then roll out to a 13"-diameter circle. Transfer dough on parchment to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Toss pears, salt, and 1/2 cup caramel sauce in a medium bowl until pears are coated. Arrange pears over crust, leaving a 1 1/2" border, piling them up as you go. Pour any caramel sauce left in bowl over pears.
• Fold crust up and over edges, overlapping as needed. Bake galette until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 55-60 minutes. Whisk remaining 1 Tbsp. caramel and 1 Tbsp. hot water in a small bowl and brush over pears with a pastry brush. Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting.

APPLE-PEAR GALETTE WITH APPLE CIDER CARAMEL

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine flours, sugar and salt. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand with some larger pieces. Add the ice water and pulse just until the mixture is evenly moistened. Tip the mixture out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Use the edges of the plastic to pack the dough into a disc. Wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together apples, pears, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest and cinnamon. On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll the dough out into a 12-inch circle. Top the dough with the prepared fruit in concentric circles leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Lift and press the edges up over the fruit, folding as necessary. Using the parchment paper, transfer the galette to a rimmed baking sheet. Chill for 10 minutes.
• Brush the border of the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sanding sugar, if using. Dot the fruit with the butter. Bake until the filling is tender and the crust is deep golden brown, about 45 minutes. Some of the juices may leak out, but that's O.K.
• Meanwhile, make the caramel: Bring apple cider to a boil over medium-high heat in a small saucepan. Continue to cook the cider until it has reduced to 1 cup liquid, about 13 to 14 minutes. Then add brown sugar, butter, and salt and stir to combine. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, and continue to cook the mixture, whisking often, until it has become syrupy and thickened slightly, about 13 to 15 minutes. Whisk in the cream and set aside to cool slightly. (The caramel will thicken as it cools.)
• Remove tart from the oven, and let it cool slightly on the pan on a rack. Transfer the galette to a serving plate and drizzle with caramel. Serve warm or at room temperature with any remaining caramel.

EASY SALTED CARAMEL PEAR GALETTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking parchment paper; spray with cooking spray. Remove pie crust from pouch; unroll and place in pan.
• In large bowl, mix pears, 1/3 cup caramel sauce, and the flour until well coated. Spread mixture in center of crust, leaving 2-inch border. Fold edge of crust up over filling, pleating crust as necessary. Brush edge of crust with milk; sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake 38 to 43 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown and pears are just tender. (If pears begin to brown too quickly, cover pears loosely with foil.) Cool 15 minutes.
• Cut into wedges. Serve with ice cream; drizzle with additional caramel sauce.

CARAMEL PEAR BLONDIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line a 20 x 20cm square cake tin.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat, swirling it around. Allow to bubble for a few minutes, or until it turns a light golden brown and smells biscuity. Remove from the heat and leave to cool a little.
• Tip the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk together with the light and dark sugars until just combined. Whisk through the melted butter, vanilla and salt.
• Gently fold through the flour, baking powder, dried pears and most of the chocolate chunks, being careful not to overmix (this will make the blondies dense).
• Pour the mixture into the lined tin. Top with the remaining chocolate and dollops of the caramel. Put in the centre of the oven to bake for 40 mins, or until a skewer inserted comes out with sticky crumbs (it shouldn't be wet). Leave to cool completely in the tin. It will sink a little - the centre should be slightly squidgy. Cut into 12 squares. Will keep in an airtight container for up to three days.
