Cinnamon Apple Galette with Pecan Crust and Brown Sugar Glaze

Ingredients:

• 2 large apples, peeled and sliced
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
• 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
• Brown sugar glaze (see below)

Instructions:

Prepare the Pecan Crust

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In a food processor, pulse together pecans and brown sugar until well combined.
3. Add in cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; process until fragrant.
4. Roll out pie crust to desired thickness.

Assemble the Galette

1. Arrange apple slices in concentric circles on one half of the crust, leaving a 1-inch border around edges.
2. Sprinkle with cinnamon mixture.
3. Fold other half of the crust over apples and press edges together to seal.
4. Brush crust with egg wash (beaten egg mixed with water) for golden color.

Bake the Galette

1. Place galette on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Bake 40-45 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is tender.

Prepare Brown Sugar Glaze

• Mix together equal parts powdered sugar and brown sugar in a small bowl.
• Add in milk (or cream) to achieve desired consistency.
• Brush glaze over warm galette for caramelized flavor and crunchy texture.

Notes:

• For an extra crunchy crust, bake the pecan mixture on its own for 5-7 minutes before assembling galette.
