Here’s another recipe from the past that I’m pulling forward to share with you again. This Apple Galette recipe was originally posted in October of 2008.
Fall is here, the holidays are near, and the season of eating is officially upon us. For me, that means it’s time for apple pie. This is my third sixth year at Pinch My Salt, and every year I have grand plans to write about holiday recipes. So far, I’ve failed miserably! Sure, I always manage to post a few pumpkin recipes here and there, but when it comes to the real stuff: the pies, the turkey, the cranberries, the dressing, I always step back and let the pros help you out. (Edit: I do have more holiday recipes on the blog now. You can find them here.)
But this year will be different. If nothing else, I will make sure at least one of you bakes a homemade apple pie for the very first time! Because let me tell you, there is something magical about seeing your very first made-from-scratch pie come out of the oven. It won’t be perfect, they never are. But it will be the best pie you’ve ever tasted.
I remember my first apple pie. I was 19 years old, it was Thanksgiving, and it was my very first holiday away from home. It was exciting to be out on my own, preparing a holiday meal with friends for the first time, but I also remember calling my mom in tears that morning because I was homesick.
We made a lot of mistakes that first year. For one, I think we forgot to take the plastic bag of giblets out of the turkey before stuffing and roasting it. Ooops! But you have to start somewhere, right? For me, I started with my very first apple pie. I don’t remember which recipe I used, I don’t even remember the process. But I do remember the feeling I had when it came out of the oven. To me, it was perfect! I was so proud, I even took a photo of it.
Years later, looking at that photo of my first apple pie, I could see a million things wrong with it. The crust didn’t even brown, not a bit. But here’s the thing about a homemade pie: nobody cares what it looks like! It’s homemade pie and it’s always, always, always better than a store-bought one.
But it seems that a lot of people have a fear of pie crust. I’ll admit that fifteen years later, I still don’t make a perfect crust. But at the same time, in fifteen years, I’ve never made a crust that wasn’t eaten! It’s time to get over the fear, and just do it.
One way to ease yourself into pie making, is to start with a free-form pie or tart known as a galette. To me, an apple galette may sound fancy, but it’s really just an informal apple pie. I make one maybe once or twice a year when I’m craving something special for dessert, and it’s always thrown together at the last minute. It seems like we always have a few apples rolling around in the fruit bin and this house never runs out of flour or butter! I bet the same is true for most of you.
Now because this it is something that is always an impromptu dessert, I don’t have a real recipe or method. I can’t give you exact instructions that you will follow to the letter. But that’s fine. I prefer that you just jump in and give this one a try.
You will be making an actual pie pastry, so it’s good practice for your next real pie. But it’s put together in such a way that it just doesn’t matter if you mess up. It’s supposed to be messy. And the great thing about a galette is that the worse it looks, the more ‘rustic’ it becomes. Haven’t you ever wanted to make a rustic tart? Here’s your chance!
You can use any pie crust recipe you would like for your galette, but I am going to suggest one over at Simply Recipes. I used it last night and I think it was the best I’ve ever made! I basically halved the recipe for Elise’s Perfect Pie Crust, since I only needed a single crust.
Now let me walk you through the galette I made last night:

First, peel, core and slice about four apples. If they are small, you can use six. You could probably even use more. I just like a high ratio of crust to apples when I make a galette. It doesn’t matter what type you use, I used a couple granny smith, a braeburn, and some other red apple that I can’t remember now. Just use what you have, or what you like.
When I prepare apples for pie, this is how I do it:

First, peel the apple using a paring knife or vegetable peeler. I prefer this peeler.

It’s always fun to try to remove the peel in one long curly strip! I tried, but it broke just as I was about to finish!

Next, cut a thin slice off the top of the apple.

Then do the same with the bottom of the apple.

The apple will now sit steady on the cutting board to make it easier to quarter, and remove the core.

Now cut the apple into four quarters. I like to do this with the apple turned upside down.

Next, remove the core from each apple quarter. It seems to be easier to cut out all of the core if you start from the bottom, that’s why I said to turn the apple upside down when you quarter it.

You now have an apple quarter that can be easily sliced into pieces.

Finally, cut each apple quarter into five or six slices.

And now you have peeled, cored, and sliced one apple. Only a few more to go!
Put all of your apple slices in a bowl and toss with a some sugar (I used about 1/4 cup), sprinkle in a bit of cinnamon, and a tablespoon of flour. Toss it all together and set the bowl aside.
Now preheat the oven to 400 degrees while you make the pastry. This is important, don’t forget to turn on the oven!
Next, clear a large space on a countertop or table and sprinkle it lightly with flour. If you have a pastry board, even better. Have a rolling pin handy and more flour available for sprinkling. A dough scraper will also come in handy if you have one.
Also get out a large cookie sheet, preferably with rim. I use a half sheet pan. Line it with parchment paper and have it handy.
Now, put together your pastry. If you would like instructions with photos, go to Simply Recipes. But we are only using half of her recipe, so use the ingredient amounts that I list here.
Galette Pastry:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 t. salt
1/2 cup chilled butter, cut into pieces (one stick)
3 tablespoons ice water
Put flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until the largest butter pieces are the size of peas. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing to mix. The mixture won’t look like it’s holding together, but pinch it, and it should stick together.
If you don’t have a food processor, put the flour and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Cut the cold butter into small pieces and toss with the flour mixture. With your fingertips, quickly rub the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles very coarse crumbs and there are still some small chunks of butter left (you may also use a pastry cutter). Add water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing and tossing with a wooden spoon. When the mixture just starts to clump together, continue to the next step.
Dump all the flour and butter pieces out onto the floured counter or board, and gather it and press it together into a disc shape. At this point, the dough can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for up to a couple of days. But we are going to roll it out immediately. If you do refrigerate it, let the dough sit out at room temperature for 10 minutes before continuing to the next step.
Roll dough out into a large circle, making sure to add a bit of flour on top and underneath the dough occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the counter. Try to roll the dough as evenly as possible to about 1/8 inch thick. The circle doesn’t have to be perfect and if the dough starts splitting and tearing, just patch it together as best you can. Most importantly, work quickly and make sure to keep the counter underneath lightly floured to prevent sticking! The circle will get big! That’s what you want.
Now gently wrap the dough around the rolling pin and transfer it to the sheet pan. Try to unwrap the dough so that it is somewhat centered on the pan. The pastry circle will overlap the sides of the pan by quite a bit, that’s what you want. Now dump the apple right into the center of the circle and spread them out a bit.
At this point I usually drop a few little pieces of butter over the tops of the apples. It’s up to you.
Next, just fold the edges of the pastry over the apples, sealing any holes that appear along the edges as you go. You want to seal the holes and cracks so that the juices don’t escape while it’s baking. The pastry shouldn’t cover the apples completely in the center.
If you want to try to make it look fancy, go ahead. I don’t. I just fold it up and hope for the best!
Finally, I beat one egg with a splash of water and lightly brush the pastry with the egg wash. Then I sprinkle a bit of sugar over the whole thing. This is optional, but it looks nice!
Now put the baking sheet with the galette into the preheated 400 degree oven and bake for about 35 minutes.
Now for the best part: It’s time to eat!

I know that there are many different ways to make a pie crust: butter, shortening, even oil! And everyone likes to argue about what makes the flakiest, most tender crust. For pies, I tend to split the difference and use half butter and half shortening. But an all-butter pastry will always have the best flavor in my book. The only problem I have with an all-butter crust, is that it doesn’t hold it’s shape very well. That’s what is so great about making a galette! It doesn’t have any fancy fluting, so it really doesn’t matter if it doesn’t hold it’s shape as well. I strongly urge you to give the all-butter pastry a try this time, the flavor is out of this world!
I generally do not use a food processor for pie pastry, but I gave it a try this time. Guess what? The results were great! So, I may start actually using my Cuisinart for more than bread crumbs now. But if you don’t have a food processor, just cut the butter into the flour with your fingertips or a pastry blender like I’ve always done.
Give it a try, have fun, and let me know what happens!

12:40 pm Oct 10th, 2008Oh man, that looks soooo good! Looks pretty enough to eat! I’ve been trying to decide on my second dessert for Thanksgiving, and I think a gallete is the answer (pumpkin pie is the first of course). I’m debating between this one and the apple pear one you linked to, though to be honest the pictures of yours makes it look way better. Thanks!
2:48 pm Oct 10th, 2008Yummy! My mom made one of these awhile back — maybe a year now — It was SO good. This looks amazing!
5:23 pm Oct 10th, 2008I think I am going to have to make an apple galette! I have a terrible time getting my crust into the pie dish w/o it ripping or something. I love this idea to ease into it instead.
7:03 pm Oct 10th, 2008What a perfect fall galette! It is really lovely, I can just imagine how wonderful it tastes.
7:30 pm Oct 10th, 2008I made this today and it came out very well.
The only thing I added was a bit of nutmeg.
The dough broke a bit for me but was easy-peasy to patch.
I will be posting an image of the yummy outcome on my blog
tomorrow with a link to your blog for this simply and delicious recipe.
The instructions and recipe was very easy to follow, wonderfully illustrated
10:31 pm Oct 10th, 2008and the result was truly delish and very pretty…!
I will make this again, and again and perhaps with pears…or…who
knows…this is a perfect recipe that is adaptable to so much.
Merci mille fois……a million thanks…
Just wanted you to know that I love your recipes and I nominated you for an award on my blog!
11:43 pm Oct 10th, 2008Alyce: Great! Your pie looked really good, I’ll be making one soon!


9:05 am Oct 11th, 2008Julo: You should definitely do something with apples to go with your pumpkin pie! I always like to have both for Thanksgiving. The apple pie I eat after dinner and the pumpkin pie I eat for breakfast the next morning
Corinne: Were you around when I made the one at your parents house that had the sharp cheddar cheese in the crust? Might have made it with the Wisconsin cheddar, can’t remember. All I know is that it was delicious! Will have to try it again soon!
Patsyk: You should give it a try! It’s easier to slice than pie, too
Zoë François: It was really good! Unfortunately, it’s all gone now
Thérèse-Marie: I’m so glad you made this already! I usually add some fresh-grated nutmeg, but for some reason didn’t think about it this time. Good call! Can’t wait to see your photos!
Jamie: Thank you!
Nicole, this is something I’ve meant to try for some time, but I keep pulling out my deep dish for pie instead! I think I’ll try one this coming week, though, and since my crust makes 2, I’ll just bake 2 of them! I’ll do them over a wood fire again. The galette looks great, and I’m sure tasted even better, but I don’t do apple stuff without my peeler/corer/slicer anymore… I’m just too lazy.
9:09 am Oct 11th, 2008Curt: I saw your apple peeler/corer/slicer and I have to say that I’m a bit jealous! I just don’t have any room to store another gadget until I get rid of some things! And now that I have my apple peeling and slicing down to a system, it doesn’t take me long at all
Can’t wait to see how your smoked galettes turn out!
9:15 am Oct 11th, 2008I’m having my coffee and would love a pie of that. I always wanted to try to make Galette. This is now on my list ‘to-try’. Thanks for sharing.
9:53 am Oct 11th, 2008Yummy! I like the pear idea someone mentioned. Great illustrations Nicole! Wonderful post, can’t wait to try this…
2:03 pm Oct 11th, 2008Your galette look so delicious, I had to go offline and make an apple pie and some ice cream. Everything turned out well. Thanks for your prompting.
2:48 pm Oct 11th, 2008I remember my first apple pie (about 3 years ago) I made it for a Thanksgiving dinner that I was hosting. It looked picture perfect when I removed it from the oven…nicely domed, beautifully browned… I was so excited…as was everyone else when I started slicing it.. until I cut into it and saw applesauce at the bottom and a huge gap of air between it and the upper crust! It turns out that it makes a difference which type of apples you use… I only had Red Delicious. I have made many pies since then but never a galette… I’ll be trying it soon as I love the crust to apple ratio.
5:21 pm Oct 11th, 2008Thanks for sharing
Thanks for another great recipe! I tried and enjoyed the pumpking cream cheese! I especially appreciate the photos for cutting up the apples! I’m going to follow your link (THX) to the photos for pastry making.
5:41 pm Oct 11th, 2008~ingrid
this is lovely!!! i’ve been wanting to make apple pie cos my dad and sister love it but i dont really like working with pie crusts XD i have a feeling that this recipe will be a big hit with my famiyl i cant wait to try it!! thanks for the very specific instructions and the great photos
6:29 pm Oct 11th, 2008Nicole – I could look up other sites and see what they say about SLICING APPLES however I was wondering if you have ever used a different method, or have seen one where the final product is (fancy?) different from the usual little chunks. I love apple pie or gallette but I despise the un-uniform textures and routine appearance.
BTW – Thought about you today on my first trip BACK to the Farm Market in Fresno. I have been away for about 10 months and I will never take the selection and quality for granted ever again.
7:25 pm Oct 11th, 2008I like the fact that when you feature an Apple Galette, for instance, you also give other Galette recipes. I’ve always been fascinated with Galettes but never made one.
6:24 am Oct 12th, 2008Now is the time! Thanks.
I love this blog site. Every week on Monday’s I post my three favorites. This Monday I will feature your site. Thanks for sharing!
8:25 am Oct 12th, 2008Apples are the reason I love fall.
11:59 am Oct 12th, 2008Nice intro for apple pastries! I’ll definitely need to be a bit more ambitious as well this season. We’ll see what happens.
12:53 pm Oct 12th, 2008Thanks for this! Despite watching my mother make crust a thousand times, I’ve been too intimidated to try it myself, and always assumed I needed a mixer or food processor…
6:28 am Oct 13th, 2008Hi there, I came over through AVT coach who recommended you. I love your blog like I knew I would just from the name of it. And I love galettes!!!!!
7:24 am Oct 13th, 2008I’ve never made a galette before, but I’ve always wanted to! This one sounds too good to pass up!
11:20 am Oct 13th, 2008I totally agree these are a great way to ease into pie making. I love galettes for that very reason. So easy and so beautiful. Love the step-by photos…
1:33 pm Oct 13th, 2008what a nice story :] i’m almost 19 and yes, i am away from home. thankfully, i get to go home this thanksgiving but i plan to attempt my first pie while my mom supervises. i think it would be really helpful to make this first so maybe i’ll surprise my roommates. thanks for the help!
4:52 pm Oct 13th, 2008hey thanks for the recipe…mine came out looking a bit like a dough purse stuffed too full of apples and cinnamon…
6:22 pm Oct 13th, 2008but i’m sure it will taste good… four apples seemed like too much for this amount of dough. i even had some apple left over….did i not roll the dough out enough? it was about an 1/8 of an inch all round, and there was just barely enough to fold over…
thanks anyway, smells good =)
I really can’t wait to make this! I usually shy away from apple pies because it’s too hard to make the dough without a stand mixer, but this one looks so simple!
7:26 pm Oct 13th, 2008I love apple everything and your galette looks fantastic! I love the rustic look!
9:08 am Oct 14th, 2008Thanks for the wonderful step-by-step instructions. I love the rusticity of a galette; a perfect way to jump into pie or tart making. Your story is touching as food is more than just the recipe or the taste and flavors; it is also about the people you eat with, the places you eat and all those memories and feelings that come flooding back when you smell or taste those flavors. Way to jump start the fall baking season! I’ll look forward to posting some links to your site in our growing food community.
4:36 pm Oct 14th, 2008This recipe is good. Makes an ugly pie crust impossible. Or maybe it just makes an ugly pie crust okay to do! I love to eat (see my name) so can only splurge on butter and sugar desserts at holidays or else my weight goes too high. You may enjoy my discovery of a really delicious dessert which is also healthy. (shock) It is so unusual that people think I have done something VERY special for them. It is so easy too!
5:11 pm Oct 14th, 2008Here it is: mix vanilla yogurt (healthy) with berries (healthy)(blueberries are divine) and Lavender Dressing (healthy), DIVINE DESSERT! Do I need to mention that it is HEALTHY too !?! Must use Lavender Dressing by Montebello Kitchens. If not in your local store go to http://www.montebellokitchens.com and you can order it there. You will not be sorry. by the way — your photos along the way of making the galette are super helpful – make it easy to understand what to do. thanks. Do you have an easy coconut cake recipe? I tried one with 7 minutes icing and it hardened SO hard that I couldn’t cut the cake! Help me please.

7:41 pm Oct 14th, 2008I am addicted to baking, but one thing that has always made me nervous is making pie crust. I baked my fourth pie today, and I think I’m starting to get over that fear. I love that you’ve presented this recipe in such a laid-back, approachable way. After all, what is there to be scared of? It’s just dough! And you’re right: it’s highly doubtful that someone could make an inedible pie crust.
8:34 pm Oct 14th, 2008That said, this galette looks fantastic! I’m a big fan of apple pie myself, and the ingredients for your recipe here are usually kicking around my house. I ordinarily don’t have enough apples for an apple pie unless I go to the store and buy that many, but I usually have four or five in the fruit basket, so this is definitely do-able. (And my kitchen is never devoid of flour or butter–perish the thought!) I’ll have to give this a go sometime very soon!
Apple pie is my fav! and this looks delicious
10:25 am Oct 15th, 2008thank you
Well, after doing the galette, the all-butter pate brisee is the way to go! Yours looks a lot neater than mine turned out, but I expect that!
Thanks for the inspiration to finally do a galette.
10:30 am Oct 15th, 2008Nicole,
Love your blog! I’m also ready for the season of eating–but it seems like this California weather is just not quite ready for it!
I really could have used your fantastic step-by-step instructions for peeling and coring apples before I made applesauce a few weeks ago
All best,
1:31 pm Oct 15th, 2008Kasey
OKAY you now are instructed to make this and the coconut bread for Thanksgiving dinner. Please let me know when you arrive at Nana’s.
LOL
4:21 pm Oct 15th, 2008Coconut bread is great. Am still in need of a Coconut layer cake recipe. Friends used to bring a very tall coconut cake over every Christmas when I was a little kid.
5:24 pm Oct 15th, 2008Lots of very creamy divine icing, all white ,and covered thickly with coconut. Anyone know of a good recipe?? thanks… All that white next to an apple galette would look good on the sideboard.
Great recipe for people scared of pies but what I think is better is to use a mixture of sugar–brown, white, and honey to give the apples more depth and warmth. It has always drawn rave reviews for me.

This looks so good and easy, I’m looking forward to making this. Thank you!
11:37 am Oct 16th, 2008You mean I can’t just buy a pie crust from the store, I have to (gasp!) make one?
2:04 pm Oct 16th, 2008This recipe looks great!
Another way to core the apple would be to use a melon-baller. Peel the apple and halve it. Then just use the melon-baller to scoop out the core and seeds and to remove the stem and the bottom.
9:19 pm Oct 16th, 2008Nice looking apple galette!
12:00 pm Oct 18th, 2008Hi!

6:42 pm Apr 20th, 2009I 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.
6:43 pm May 17th, 2009I 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!!!!

It is Sunday afternoon, I have a pot roast in the crockpot cooking and was thinking we needed a “comfort” dessert to go with our meal. So I googled for an “Apple Galette recipe.” This receipe looks SO delicious I decided I needed to try it. My family and I loved apple pie and I have a store-bought (sorry) crust in the refrigerator that needs to be used up. I plan on using your crust recipe some other time, but for now thank you for this recipe, I will let you know how it turns out. I love galettes because they are so forgiving. Thank you again.

9:00 pm Oct 20th, 2011If this recipe leads to someone’s very first foray into baking, having accessible instructions, more room for error on the crust shape, etc., they might not have a rolling pin. A straight sided wine bottle should substitute (that’s what I’m going to try tonight after finding this recipe…rolling pin got ditched as one of those utensils I only use once every 7 years)

10:39 pm May 27th, 2012Just made this, and it was delicious! However, my crust turned out very crumbly & not very stable…I’m not used to working with pie crust, so maybe it’s a step I missed? Next time I’ll try doubling the crust. Either way, definitely going to make again!
