Print Recipe

caramel and apples in a rustic galette

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pie dough recipe (you can use store bought pie dough or homemade)
  • 4–5 cups apples, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (can sub apple pie spice if you have it)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (omit if subbing apple pie spice)
  • 3 – 4 tablespoons caramel sauce (homemade, recipe follows or store bought)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Caramel Sauce
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the apple slices, brown sugar, flour, and apple pie spice or cinnamon and nutmeg until apples are well coated.
  3. If using homemade dough, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment.
  4. Arrange the apples into the dough, leaving about a 2-3 inch border all around the outside. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, overlapping as necessary.
  5. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the filling. Brush the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
  6. Bake 35-40 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before serving.
  7. Top with vanilla ice cream while still warm, serve, and enjoy!
  8. Caramel Sauce
  9. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, without stirring. Boil until the sugar is a deep amber color, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  10. Remove the sugar from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble. Stir in the unsalted butter. If desired, add some sea salt (about a teaspoon). Transfer the caramel to a dish and cool.

Notes

  • While I am peeling and slicing apples, I put the already prepared slices into a bowl of water with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice to help prevent them from browning while I peel and slice the rest. Be sure to towel dry the apples before use.
