Delicious fall fruit galette recipe for cosy gatherings

Ingredients for Fall fruit galette

• 2 tsp fennel seeds (optional)

• 5 ml kosher salt

• 70 g sugar, plus more for sprinkling

• 900 g apples (such as Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith), scrubbed, cored, thinly sliced

• 15 ml apple cider vinegar

• 5 ml vanilla extract

• extra-flaky pastry dough

• 15 ml double cream

• softly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving; optional)

• a spice mill or mortar and pestle

How to make Fall fruit galette

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C).  

2. Toast the fennel seeds (if using) in a small dry frying pan over medium-high heat until golden brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes.  Let them cool, then finely grind in a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle.  Transfer to a medium bowl, then add salt and 110 g sugar.  Toss with your hands to combine, then add the apples and toss to coat.  Add the vinegar and vanilla, then toss gently.  

3. Arrange the apple mixture in the centre of the chilled dough (still on the parchment on the baking tray) and spread it out evenly, overlapping slices if desired and leaving a 7.5 cm border.  Fold the edges of the dough up and over the fruit, pleating as needed and being careful not to tear the folded edge of the dough (if it tears, patch it with dough scraps and pinch to seal).  

4. Pour the cream into a small bowl and brush it all over the dough.  Sprinkle the remaining sugar evenly over the dough.  

5. Place the galette in the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 190°C (fan 170°C).  Bake, rotating halfway through, until the crust is deep golden brown, the apples are softened, and the juices are bubbling, about 45–50 minutes.  

6. Let the galette cool for 2 hours.  

7. Serve the galette with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
