Apple Galette In Phyllo Dough Recipe

There’s something incredibly satisfying about crafting a homemade apple galette, especially when each buttery layer of phyllo dough crisps up to perfection around tender, cinnamon-kissed apples. As I slice into the golden galette, a light drizzle of honey and a powdered sugar dusting offer just the right touch of sweetness, making it an irresistible treat for any cozy evening.

I enjoy creating a delightful Apple Galette in Phyllo Dough, blending layers of delicate phyllo brushed with melted butter and with thinly sliced apples. I combine the sweet aromas of cinnamon and sugar with just a hint of lemon juice.

I think it creates a refreshing balance and that makes the whole thing a light, delicious dessert.

Apple Galette In Phyllo Dough Recipe Ingredients

• Phyllo Dough: Provides a delicate, flaky texture to the galette.
• Apples: Rich in fiber and vitamin C, and add natural sweetness.
• Unsalted Butter: Enhances flavor and creates a crisp, golden finish.
• Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the filling and helps caramelize the apples.
• Cinnamon: Adds warmth and depth to the apple flavor.
• Lemon Juice: Brightens flavor and prevents apples from browning.
• Honey: Optional drizzle for added sweetness and sheen.

Apple Galette In Phyllo Dough Recipe Ingredient Quantities

• 6 sheets of phyllo dough
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

How to Make this Apple Galette In Phyllo Dough Recipe

1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment.

2. Put one sheet of phyllo dough on the prepared baking sheet and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and repeat the process with the remaining sheets, making sure you stack them neatly, so they’re just on top of one another. You should have 6 sheets in the stack when you’re done.

3. In a big bowl, whisk together the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, flour, and a pinch of salt. Make sure the apples are well coated.

4. Place the apple mixture in the middle of the phyllo stack to form a 2-inch border around the edges.

5. Softly mix the edges of the phyllo dough over the apples to create a freeform tart that still shows off all the deliciousness inside.

6. Use some of the leftover melted butter to coat the folded edges of the phyllo.

7. Place the galette in the oven that has been preheated to 375 degrees and bake it for 30 to 35 minutes. You will know it’s done when the edges are golden brown, and if you pierce an apple with a fork, it should offer very little resistance.

8. If you wish, you can drizzle honey on the baked galette while it is still warm.

9. Let the galette cool a bit before serving.

10. If desired, give a dusting of powdered sugar right before serving to achieve a lovely, finished look. Enjoy!
