# Ingredients:
01 -
1 sheet of store-bought puff pastry, thawed
02 -
4 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
03 -
1/2 cup sugar
04 -
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
05 -
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
06 -
1 tablespoon lemon juice
07 -
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
08 -
1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
09 -
Vanilla bean ice cream (optional, for garnishing)
10 -
2 tablespoons caramel (optional, for garnishing)
11 -
Brown sugar for sprinkling (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to remove any creases. Transfer it to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Arrange the apple slices on the puff pastry, leaving about a 2.5 cm (1-inch) border.
03 -
Fold the puff pastry edges up and over the apples to create a border. Brush the beaten egg over the crust. Dot the top of the apples with small pieces of butter and sprinkle the crust and apple tops lightly with additional sugar.
04 -
Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the apples are tender.
05 -
Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the galette cool for a few minutes. Slide it onto a serving plate using a large spatula or carefully invert the baking sheet over a plate to unmold. Serve warm or at room temperature.
