Apple galette recipe
Feel free to skip, guys -- I crammed a bunch of recipes into one place, stared at them, and then did my own version. And now I need to write it down before I forget because the in-laws want me to make this again next Thanksgiving.
1 9" pie crust or 1 puff pastry sheet (room temperature)
3 small Granny Smith apples
4 small Fuji or Gala apples (core and peel all apples, then slice to 1/2 inch or so)
zest of one lemon
juice of half a lemon
3/4 tsp of cinnamon (or so)
1/8 tsp of cloves
1/8 tsp of ginger (or two quarter-sized pieces of crystallized ginger if not cooking for a diabetic!)
2 Tbsp sugar (or Splenda if cooking for diabetic), plus another 1/2 Tbsp for later.
some milk
Preheat oven to 400.
Grease the pizza sheet or cookie sheet. Roll the pie crust out on parchment sheet to thin it out some and slide it onto the sheet.
Dump the spices, lemon zest, and lemon juice into a good-sized bowl. *Not* the sugar yet. If using crystallized ginger, chop it very fine and throw it in too. Core and peel the apples, one or two at a time, tossing them with the lemon juice/spice mix as you go. Add 2 Tbsp of sugar, toss again, and start arranging the apple slices on the pie crust, leaving an inch or so of crust bare around the edges. (I've been aiming for concentric circles but really, I get one wide circle and then a couple lines of apples in the middle. Whatever. It's still pretty.)
Fold the edges up over the apples, pinching it together here and there to hold it together better. Brush with some milk, and sprinkle the 1/2 Tbsp of sugar over the edges. Bake at 400 for 40 minutes.
