Tips to Make Apple Galette (Vegan & Gluten-free)
- Choose the Right Apples: A mix of tart and sweet apples works wonders. Think Granny Smith and Honeycrisp.
- Keep Everything Cold: Chill your butter and yogurt! This helps achieve that dreamy flaky texture we’re all after.
- Don’t Overfill: While more apples sound tempting, too many can make your galette soggy. Balance is key!
Variation
Feeling adventurous? Switch up the spice game! Add some ginger or even chopped nuts for extra crunch. You can also experiment with different kinds of fruit: pears or berries can be delicious alternatives.
FAQs
Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free flour?
Sure, if gluten isn’t on your no-no list, go for it! Regular all-purpose flour will work just fine.
Can I freeze the Apple Galette?
Absolutely! Once it cools, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. It’ll keep well in the freezer for about 2-3 months. Just don’t forget to thaw in the fridge before baking.
Is this recipe nut-free?
It contains almond meal, so if you have nut allergies, you might want to substitute with more gluten-free flour. No one wants a trip to the ER over dessert! 😅
