Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 cups sliced apples
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Gently roll out the pre-made pie crust on the prepared baking sheet, creating a rustic circular shape about 12 inches in diameter.
- Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly in the center of the pie crust, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Arrange the sliced apples over the pumpkin mixture in an overlapping pattern, creating an attractive design.
- Carefully fold the edges of the pie crust over the filling, creating a rustic, pleated border that partially covers the apples.
- Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush the exposed crust edges with the egg wash to create a golden, shiny finish.
- Sprinkle additional cinnamon over the top of the galette if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
- Choose the Right Apples: For the best flavor and texture, opt for a mix of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. This will add depth to your galette.
- Chill the Pie Crust: If you have time, chill your pre-made pie crust in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before rolling it out. This helps maintain a flaky texture during baking.
- Don’t Skip the Egg Wash: Brushing the crust with an egg wash not only gives it a beautiful golden color but also adds a lovely sheen to your galette.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to enhance the flavor by adding a pinch of ginger or cloves to the pumpkin filling for an extra kick.
- Serve with Ice Cream: For an indulgent treat, serve your warm galette with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Let It Cool: Allow the galette to cool for 10-15 minutes after baking. This helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.
- Store Leftovers Properly: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
