    Rustic Apple Maple Galette

    My week in Kelowna with my family is slowly coming to an end. Tomorrow – just in time for Valentine’s Day – Olivia and I fly back home to Calgary. It is so refreshing though, to have a change of scenery. I try to do very little blog work and savor the moments as much as possible.

    I love having more time to give Olivia my undivided attention and catch up with my parents and siblings. It also a pleasure to see them play with Olivia and just delight in the pure joy that a baby in the house brings.

    We’ve also been cooking up great comfort food that I grew up with. And except for snapping the occasional Instagram shot, I didn’t even worry about how I would photograph the food and didn’t take any recipe notes. This, kind of is a vacation for me after all.

    But I made you an amazing galette, before I left for my trip already. You might remember the many fruit galettes I made last year. This year I set out to make an apple galette. It took me 3 tries to get it right, but then I absolutely loved the end result.

    This time I made the crust with half whole wheat flour. I really like how it underlines the rustic feel of a galette.

    In the filling I used homemade apple sauce that I spiced and sweetened with maple syrup. Thinly sliced apple slices are fanned out over top and sprinkled with toasted walnuts and turbinado sugar.

    I was getting ready to take pictures of the galette already, but felt like something was still missing. So I quickly stirred together a glaze to drizzle over top. I used coconut sugar that I ground into a fine powder in an electric coffee grinder (but regular icing sugar will work too).

    To that I simple added a little maple syrup until it reached the right drizzling consistency.

    The galette is delicious at room temperature. But I love it even more still warm from the oven with a scoop of ice cream or whipped (coconut) cream on top.

    This rustic galette has a whole wheat crust, a fruity filling of apple sauce and apple slices and is finished with a maple glaze.
    Author: LeelaLicious
    Yield: 8-10 slices
    Ingredients
    Pie Crust:
    • 1 cup whole wheat flour
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • ¾ cup butter
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup ice water
    Filling:
    • ⅓ cup apple sauce (I used homemade)
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (not necessary, if using sweetened apple sauce)
    • ¼ teaspoon apple pie spice
    • 2-3 apples
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon walnut pieces
    • 1 tablespoon coarse or turbinado sugar
    Glaze:
    • 2 tablespoon powdered coconut sugar (or regular icing sugar)
    • 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup
    Instructions
    1. Place whole wheat flour, all purpose flour and salt in a food processor and pulse a couple times to mix. Add cut up butter and continue pulsing until mixture has the consistency of coarse sand. (Alternatively you can use a pastry blender.)
    2. Slowly add ice water into the running food processor until a dough ball forms. Use only as much water as needed.
    3. Turn dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap and shape into a disk. Wrap and chill for about half an hour.
    4. In the meantimecombine apple sauce, apple pie spice and maple syrup in a small bowl. Peel, core and thinly slice the apples and drizzle with the lemon juice.
    5. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Sprinkle some flour onto a clean surface and on top of the chilled dough disk. Roll out to about ⅛ inch thickness. Place on a (lined) baking sheet.
    6. Spread apple sauce onto crust, starting about 2 inches from the edge. Arrange apple slices in a circular pattern. Sprinkles with walnut pieces and sugar and fold over the edges.
    7. Bake galette for 35-40 minutes until edges are golden-brown.
    8. Combine powdered coconut sugar with only as much maple syrup as needed to reach desired consistency. Drizzle over galette once it has cooled a bit.

      I love galettes! They are so effortless (unless you’re working on a new recipe), and I love the way the look. This one is so beautiful, and the maple glaze is such a perfect finishing touch. Safe travels 🙂
