Description
Rustic, elegant, and easier than pie—this Honeycrisp Apple Galette is filled with tender slices of tart-sweet apples layered over a creamy almond filling, all wrapped in a golden, flaky crust. It’s the dessert that looks impressive but feels totally homemade.
Ingredients
For the crust:
1 store-bought pie crust (or homemade if you’re feeling extra)
For the almond cream (frangipane):
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 tsp almond extract
For the apples:
2 large Honeycrisp apples, thinly sliced
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice
To finish:
1 egg (for egg wash)
Turbinado sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Warmed apricot jam or honey for glaze (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, cream together almond flour, sugar, butter, egg, and almond extract to make the frangipane.
Roll out pie crust onto prepared sheet. Spread almond cream in the center, leaving a 2-inch border.
Toss apple slices with brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Arrange over almond cream.
Fold edges of the crust over the apples, pleating as you go.
Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
Optional: Brush apples with warmed jam or honey for a glossy finish.
