How to Make Apple Marzipan Galette
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough to a 14-inch circle.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the marzipan to a 9-inch circle.
- Place the marzipan on top of the pie dough.
- In a large bowl, combine 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to combine.
- Spoon the apple mixture evenly over the marzipan.
- Fold a 2-inch border of the dough over the apple mixture, pressing gently to seal.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- While the galette bakes, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Cook, without stirring, until the sugar dissolves and turns a light golden amber color (about 3-5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and carefully stir in 1/4 teaspoon almond extract.
- Drizzle the warm caramel-almond glaze over the baked galette immediately.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
