Caramel Apple Galette with Pistachio Crust

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup ground pistachios
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces

For the filling:

  • 6-8 medium-sized apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the caramel sauce:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, pistachios, confectioners' sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the cold butter to the bowl and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the mixture into a 9-inch (23cm) round baking dish.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until the apples are evenly coated with the dry ingredients.
  6. Arrange the apple slices on top of the crust in a spiral pattern, leaving a 1-inch (2.5cm) border around the edges.
  7. Drizzle the melted butter over the apples and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  8. Fold the edges of the crust up over the filling to form a crusty galette.
  9. Bake the galette for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  10. While the galette is baking, prepare the caramel sauce by combining the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter in a small saucepan.
  11. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the caramel sauce thickens slightly.
  12. Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  13. Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the top of the galette and serve warm.

Notes

  • This recipe makes one large galette that serves 8-10 people. You can also make individual galettes using a 6-inch (15cm) round baking dish.
  • If you prefer a crisper crust, bake the galette for an additional 5-10 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
  • You can store any leftover galette in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
