RUSTIC APPLE AND DRIED CHERRY GALETTE WITH CRèME FRAîCHE AND CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• For crust:
• Mix flour and salt in processor. Add butter and cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 3 tablespoons ice water and process until moist clumps form, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and chill 30 minutes. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
• For filling:
• Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add apples to skillet; sprinkle 3 tablespoons sugar over. Sauté until apples are golden and begin to soften, about 8 minutes. Add dried cherries and cinnamon and stir 30 seconds. Remove from heat and cool completely.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough on floured surface to 12-inch round. Using 9-inch-diameter tart pan bottom as aid, transfer dough to rimless baking sheet. Arrange apple mixture atop dough, leaving 3-inch border. Fold edge of dough over apple mixture, pinching to seal any cracks in dough. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon sugar over apple mixture and dough edge.
• Bake galette 15 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 375°F. Continue to bake galette until crust is light golden around edges and apples are tender, about 35 minutes longer. Using tart pan bottom as aid, transfer galette to rack; cool 15 minutes. Serve warm with Crème Fraîche and Caramel Sauce.

RUSTIC APPLE GALETTE

Steps:

• For the crust: Pulse the flour and salt together in a food processor, just to combine. Then cut the cold butter into cubes. Add to the flour and pulse in the processor until the bits are smaller than peas. Turn on the processor, and slowly pour the water into it. As it mixes, the dough will start to stick together. Done.
• If you do not have a food processor, cut the butter in with a pastry blender.
• Form your dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and stick it in the fridge. Let it chill while you prepare the filling.
• For the filling: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine sugars, salt, flour & cinnamon.
• Set aside.
• Put the apple slices in a bowl, add the lemon juice and give it a stir.
• Add the dry mixture and stir to coat.
• Add in the lemon zest, and another quick stir.
• Set aside.
• Roll out your pie crust.
• Lay rolled pie crust dough onto a bar pan or cookie sheet with an edge, lined with parchment paper.
• Pile your apples in the center.
• Simply begin folding the edges of the dough over the apples, gently pressing them into place.
• Dot the apples with the butter pieces.
• Bake the galette for 35-45 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
• Allow it to rest and cool for 10 minutes or more before serving.
• The inside will ooze when you cut it, that's normal.
• Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
• Enjoy!
