How to Make Apple Marzipan Galette

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie dough to a 14-inch circle.
  3. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the marzipan to a 9-inch circle.
  5. Place the marzipan on top of the pie dough.
  6. 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.
  7. Spoon the apple mixture evenly over the marzipan.
  8. Fold a 2-inch border of the dough over the apple mixture, pressing gently to seal.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  10. 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).
  11. Remove from heat and carefully stir in 1/4 teaspoon almond extract.
  12. Drizzle the warm caramel-almond glaze over the baked galette immediately.
