minutesThis galette is so good and the best part is the dough. The dough was so easy to make. I made the dough then refrigerated it for 2 days just because I didn’t have the time to make the whole galette. This requires a lot of time but it’s well worth it. The house smells so good and I just used apples from my trees. Next time I will use a mix of Granny Smith and Golden Delicious. It needs the Granny Smith to hold its shape and tartness. ***You can do this in stages. Make the dough a day or two before, then do the apples and allow those to cool completely. When ready to prepare, preheat oven, roll the dough and have a 9 inch spring form pan ready and from there you are on your way.
