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
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!
