You don’t have to sacrifice too much time and effort in that kitchen. Even the novice baker can bring this galette to life! Assembling it couldn’t be easier, and there’s no need to wait hours for it to cool before slicing.

The galette crust can be a homemade pie crust, or you can cheat a little bit like we did and buy a refrigerated pie crust at your local grocery store! Hey, we all are busy Moms, and we love short cuts and ways to save time if we can, right?!? Next, you’ll snuggle the Envy™ apple slices into the pie crust after they’ve been coated in warm fall spice (cinnamon and nutmeg). Top with cranberries and butter to bake it off in the oven.

You’ll have a warm (from the oven) dessert that will also leave your home smelling oh so good!

What is a Galette?

A galette is a free-form pie that is not made in a pie dish, but on a sheet tray instead. A single layer of pie dough is rolled out into the shape of a circle, topped with fruit and the crust placed over the top “stuffing” the fruit inside.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and start placing the apple slices in a circle on the dough. Overlap the slices until you reach the center.  Leave at least an inch or two on the edge to roll up the dough.

Roll up the dough around the apples, pleating it as you go with your fork.
