Cinnamon Apple Galette with Oat and Pecan Crust

A sweet and crumbly dessert that's perfect for the fall season. The combination of tender apples, crunchy oat and pecan crust, and warm cinnamon spice is sure to become a favorite.

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the filling:

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, pecans, brown sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add in the cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add in the beaten egg, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together in a ball.
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. In a separate large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until the apples are evenly coated with the dry ingredients.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).
  8. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone lined with parchment paper.
  9. Spread the apple mixture over the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the edges.
  10. Fold the edges of the dough up over the apples, pressing gently to seal.
  11. Brush the crust with an egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  12. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and tender.

Notes

  • This recipe makes one large galette that serves 8-10 people. You can also make smaller individual galettes if preferred.
  • To freeze the galette, bake it as instructed and then let it cool completely. Wrap it in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
