Apple Almond Galette

easy apple dessert

I love the combination of almond with fruit so when I came across this relatively easy apple dessert recipe that included almond paste I was excited to try it.  The recipe came from a magazine called Family Favorites Cookbook and it’s easy to see why it was included.

Similar to an apple almond tart – this recipe is easier because it is free-form (no fitting into a tart pan).

FYI: I omitted the giner and replace it with 1 tsp. cinnamon.

Apple-Almond Galette, Serves 8

  • 1 (7 ounce) tube almond paste
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 Tbsp. flour
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lbs baking apples, peeled and cored
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 3/4 tsp. ground ginger (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1 refrigerated unbaked pie crust (from a 15-ounce package)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 Tbsp. water
  • Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. sliced almonds
  • Whipped Cream (optional)
  1.  In a large mixing bowl combine almond paste, egg, egg white, flour, and salt.  Beat with an electric mixer on high about 1 minute or until fluffy.
  2. Cut apples into a 3/8-inch slices.  In a large bowl toss apples with lemon juice, the 2 Tbsp. sugar, the ginger (if using) and nutmeg; set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 375 F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.  Follow package directions for pie crust.  On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry to a 14-inch oval.  Transfer to prepared baking sheet.  Spread almond paste mixture over dough, leaving a 2 inch border.  Arrange apple slices on almond paste.  Fold over border, pleating dough and covering outer edges of apple.  Place in freezer for 10 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl beat together the egg yolk and the water; brush over crust.  Generously sprinkle crust and apples with sugar.  Top with nuts.
  5. Bake about 1 hour or until apples are tender and almond filling is golden. (If crust browns to quickly, cover the crust with foil.)  Broil galette about 1 minute or until apples are slightly browned.  Place a sheet of parchment paper on a wire cooling rack.  Slide galette onto parchment on wire rack. Cool slightly.  If desired, serve with whipped cream.
