Calories: 362kcal
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 15 ounces flaky shortcrust pastry
- 1 large egg beaten
- 2 tablespoons demerara sugar
For the Filling
- 4 large Granny Smith apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Peel and thinly slice the apples, then toss them with the lemon juice to prevent them from browning. Each apple should be cut into approximately 32 slices.
- Add the cranberries, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon to the bowl of apple slices and toss until well coated.
- Place half of the pastry on a lightly floured work surface and roll it into 11 or 12-inch diameter circle. Transfer the pastry to a large parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Arrange half of the apple slices and cranberries on the circle of pastry, leaving a border of about 3 inches all the way around.
- Fold the pastry over the cranberry apple filling, then brush it with the beaten egg and sprinkle the pastry and filling with demerara sugar.
- Bake the cranberry apple galette at 400 F for 35 minutes, or until the pastry is a rich golden brown. Let it cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then let it finish cooling on a wire rack. Cover the filling with foil if it's starting to brown too much.
- Repeat steps 3-6 with the other half of the pastry and filling.
- Serve the cranberry apple galette warm with vanilla ice cream or crème anglaise.
Notes
- Using a sturdy cake lifter makes it easy to transfer the cranberry apple galettes from the cookie sheets to the wire racks or serving plates.
- Be sure to slice the apples an even thickness for the best cooking.
- Toss the sliced apples in lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
- Use homemade shortcrust for the tastiest cranberry apple galette.
- Arrange the apple slices in a fanned out pattern for a more impressive presentation.
