• 1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions

Make the Maple Cream Cheese Crust

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, confectioners' sugar, and cold butter.
2. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in maple syrup and cream cheese until the dough comes together.
4. Add beaten egg and vanilla extract; mix until a smooth dough forms.

Prepare the Filling

1. In a separate bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
2. Mix well to coat the apple slices evenly with the spice mixture.

Assemble and Bake the Galette

1. Roll out the maple cream cheese crust to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).
2. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
3. Arrange the apple filling in a spiral pattern, leaving a small gap between each slice.
4. Fold the edges of the crust up over the apples, pressing gently to seal.
5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Make Maple Cream Cheese Whipped Topping

1. In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese and maple syrup.
2. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
3. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Serve

• Allow the galette to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
• Top each slice with a dollop of maple cream cheese whipped topping and enjoy!
