The Cinnamon Apple Galette with Pecan Crust Recipe

Servings: 8-10 people

Ingredients:

For the Pecan Crust:

• 1 cup of pecans
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
• 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, melted

For the Apple Filling:

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

Instructions:

Step 1: Make the Pecan Crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pecans, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until well combined.

Add in the melted butter and mix until the mixture forms a crumbly dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 2: Prepare the Apple Filling

In a separate large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until the apples are evenly coated with the dry ingredients.

Step 3: Assemble the Galette

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pecan crust dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm). Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Arrange the apple filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around it. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pressing gently to seal the galette.

Step 4: Bake the Galette

Bake the galette for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Step 5: Serve

Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10-15 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!
