Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust store bought or homemade
  • 3-4 Gala apples or honey-crisp cored & sliced
  • 4 tbsp softened butter
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp almond extract
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • pinch of salt
  • egg wash
  • demerara sugar or any coarse sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°
  • I’m a bowl, combine softened butter, sugar, egg and extracts. Add in the flours and salt. Mix until thick and smooth. Set aside. 
  • On a lightly floured surface roll out your pie dough into a 12-14 inch circle. Doesn’t have to be perfect. Embrace the cracks.
  • Transfer the pie dough onto a sheet of parchment. Using an offset spatula, spread your frangipane pastry cream in the center, leaving out a 1 inch border. Arrange your apple slices on top. Fold over the edges and brush with egg wash. Sprinkle coarse sugar all over the galette. Bake on a sheet pan for 40-45 min until the crust is golden brown. Enjoy warm.
