Now, don’t let the word Galette scare you….it is a French word that simply means…various types of flat, round or freeform crusty cakes. This beautiful apple dessert couldn’t be easier and boy is it pretty. We are FINALLY back to school here in CA. Can I get a woot woot please?! The boys are enjoying their classes and teachers, so mama is happy!
I LOVE the fall flavors of apples and cinnamon then toss on some chocolate and caramel…..I think I’ve died and gone to heaven 🙂 Hope you will all enjoy this simple yet completely impressive and scrumptious “freeform” little pie. Take a peek!
Here’s your trusty line up of ingredients 🙂
Dice 2 nice apples
Brown a few Tablespoons of butter…
….and throw in your diced apples, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Pour onto center of rolled pie dough…
quarter a handful of Rolo’s…
Place on top of apples….
Now the fun part….folding your dough edges. Don’t worry too much about this part. Do the best you can, it even looks good when it’s not perfect 🙂 You basically pick up a piece of dough and fold it over. Do this around the entire circle of dough.
