I don’t know too many people that don’t like pie – in fact, I know none.  My love for pie is probably just as diverse as the ways it can be made. My favorite pies are apple, peach, coconut cream, and chocolate silk just to name a few!  They’re all quite different, yet they all involve a flakey crust.  

What’s the difference between a pie and a galette?

A galette and pie are made of the same ingredients in a pie crust. A galette is made on a flat pan surface with the bottom crust folded over the fruit tilling. There is no pie plate or pie tin when making a galette.

Whereas, a pie is made in a deep-dish pie tin or baking dish.  This Salted Caramel Apple Galette is like a pie, but much simpler to make.  Topped with delicious chopped almonds and a salted caramel drizzle, this pastry will knock your socks off and best of all, no pie plate necessary!

I really enjoy making all types of galette’s and open faced pies.  They’re so simple, as I typically go with a basic store-bought, refrigerated pie crust.  This means literally unrolling the prepared crust, adding your fruit filling, folding over the sides and baking.  It really couldn’t be easier!

How do I make the crust of a galette crisp on top?

Before putting the galette in the oven, I brushed the sides of the crust with an egg white and sprinkle with sugar. With will help the top of the crust become golden brown, tender with a slight crispness.

Once the pastry comes out of the oven, and cools, you can then drizzle the top with caramel sauce.  Pretty enough for company or your Thanksgiving dinner, and simple enough for a weeknight at home watching TV.

Served warm, and topped with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, more caramel sauce and topped with additional chopped almonds, this dessert is incredible.  Such an amazing treat that is perfect for fall, or anytime you’re in the mood for apple pie, but don’t want to wait!
