How to Make Apple And Cranberry Galette
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Position two racks in the middle of the oven.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir until sugar dissolves.
- Add 6 medium apples (about 3 pounds), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced, to the skillet. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, until apples are tender but still hold their shape.
- Stir in 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries. Simmer for 2 minutes, until cranberries begin to pop.
- Remove apples and cranberries from skillet with a slotted spoon, reserving the pan juices.
- Increase heat to medium-high and boil the pan juices until slightly reduced, about 2-3 minutes. Pour reduced juice over the fruit.
- Roll out one 12-inch circle of pre-made pie crust (or your homemade dough) on a lightly floured surface.
- Transfer the pastry to a baking sheet or pizza pan. Spread the apple and cranberry mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border.
- Fold the edges of the pastry over the fruit, pleating as you go to create a rustic rim.
- Dot the exposed fruit with 2 tablespoons of cold, unsalted butter, sliced thinly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through.
- Let the galette cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with powdered sugar (optional).
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
