Apple Galette

Ingredients

  • 140ml Double Cream

Galette

  • 225g Puff Pastry (ready made is fine)
  • 3 Dessert Apples
  • 1 Egg (beaten)
  • 40g Caster Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Toffee sauce

  • 50g Caster Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Galette
1. Pre-heat oven to 200 C / 400 F / Gas 6
2. Draw yourself an apple template, slightly larger than the apples you are using, on some greaseproof paper and cut out.
3. Using a sharp knife, cut around the template until you have all the apple shapes cut out. You should be able to make at least 8
4. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon and set aside
5. Take a half an apple, and slice it very thinly.
6. Starting at the outsides, lay the slices moving inwards. Use smaller slices or trim some down for the centre.
7. Brush with egg, then sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar.
8. Bake for 11-12 minutes until the pastry is puffed up and top is crunchy and golden brown.
Toffee sauce
9. Put 50g of caster sugar in a pan with 1 tablespoon of water. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves
10. Turn the heat up and boil until it goes golden and begins to caramelise. Swirl the pan to prevent burning but do not stir - this will form sugar crystals and make your sauce gritty.
11. Once it starts to caramelise, take it off the heat and whisk in the double cream until smooth.
