It’s actually a French dessert!

the dough was not easy at all – it’s way too dry to roll properly with so little water in it, so it was constantly cracking and still mostly flour around the edges. no way to fold the dough or transfer it without it shattering into a dozen dry pieces, i’m not sure what i did wrong but i was very careful to keep the fat in the dough from melting. i even tried to make a second dough from scratch but i got the same result – overly dry, falling to pieces at the slightest touch. how is this easier than apple pie?

I just made this last night with some homegrown MacIntosh apples from a friend’s farm, and as soon as I bit into a piece of it, I teared up because I hadn’t tasted a dessert like that since my mom made pie with the MacIntosh apples from our backyard when I was little. Thank you for helping me relive a great memory, and thank you for a wonderful recipe!

I loved the picture of this Galette!! I have made them from Martha Stewart to Ina Garten, but please have fun when you cook!! Don’t make it such a stressful time, if you are going to make something for a party or even a few friends and family, practice the recipe first if it’s only yourself or people at work. That way you can make a relaxed evening or day out it and even if you’ve never cooked or baked before.
I think food processor made pie crust is the best ever. The golden rule of baking is simple: don’t over mix, that’s it. When you process the pie dough just mix till blended, and no more and not too much flour just enough to stick together As for the pie crust recipe the prior post wanted to know if they could make a pie crust without using butter or margarine? That’s what makes it flaky, if you leave out the fat it will become very doughy and not flake properly, not to mention be just flour and water. I’m sure there are substitutes. I have seen some “natural” made. If you are looking to replace the fat and calories I would try to cut something else out such as using sugar substitute, but that’s the reason it’s so yummy. Good luck to all and have fun!!!!

I love this recipie because is so simple. I know that making home made pie crust but if in a hurry I use store brought and comes out just as good. No matter which crust I use I also sprinkle a handfull of chopped walnuts on top and comes out yummy!!
