Apple Frangipane Galette Recipes

APPLE GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400. First roll out the dough on a large baking sheet greased.
• Make the frangipane: mix butter with sugar. Add the egg, flour, almond extract and almond flour. Spread this mixture over the puff pastry. Slice the apples about 1/8 inches think and arrange them in a circle. Fold over the dough that it covers at least 2 inches. Brunch the galette with agave and sprinkle cinnamon. Bake for 20min.

APPLE-FRANGIPANE GALETTE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until it looks like coarse meal with some pea-size bits. Add the egg and pulse a few times until the dough just starts to clump together. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap, gather the dough into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Make the frangipane: Combine the almond flour, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, butter, egg, brandy (if using), extract, pie spice and salt in a medium bowl and mix with a rubber spatula until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• When ready to assemble the galette, preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread the frangipane over the dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border; refrigerate while preparing the apples.
• Prepare the apples: Peel the apples and slice 1/4 inch thick. Toss with the brown sugar, granulated sugar, lemon juice and pie spice in a bowl. Arrange the apples over the frangipane, slightly overlapping. Fold in the edge of the dough, pleating as you go. Brush the edge with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the demerara sugar. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the apples are browned and tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack and let cool.
• Heat the apricot preserves and brandy in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking, until loose. Strain into a small bowl, pressing on the solids. Brush the glaze over the apples.

APPLE-FRANGIPANE GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1/2-inch (1.5-cm) slices.
• Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough into a circle about 14 inches (36 cm) in diameter. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
• Smear the frangipane over the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5-cm) border. Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles over the frangipane, or simply scatter them in an even layer. Fold the border of the dough over the apples and brush the crust with some of the melted butter, then lightly brush or dribble the rest of the butter over the apples. Sprinkle half of the sugar over the crust, and the remaining half over the apples.
• Bake the galette until the apples are tender and the crust has browned, about 1 hour. Slide the galette off the parchment paper and onto a wire rack.
• Serve warm or at room temperature. You can drizzle the galette with warm honey or glaze it with strained apricot jam, thinned with just enough water to make it spreadable.
