Caramel Apples are a classic fall dessert, only made better wrapped in a flakey pie crust in this Caramel Apple Galette! It’s the perfect mash up of all the fall flavors!
What is a Caramel Apple Galette?
This dessert brings on all the fall vibes, but to start off, what the heck is a galette? Galette, while it seems fancy, it’s actually an easier free-form version of a pie. Where a pie is baked in a specific pan, a galette is made on a sheet-pan and folded on itself to create a pie shape!
I love making galettes because they are so easy to through together. You add your filling and just fold the crust on top! It’s easy and its a show-stopper.
You can make basically any fruit pie into a galette. I don’t recommend doing a custard pie into a galette since the filling could leak out while it’s baking!
Store-Bought Vs. Homemade
To tell you a secret, I *hate* making pie crust. It’s something that I struggled with for a long time and I don’t enjoy making! But since I love the look of a beautiful homemade pie, I stick with store-bought pie crust.
I love using store-bought pie crust for a ton of different reasons:
- It’s easier to use. You don’t have to worry about making your own, when you can pop over to the store and buy one!
- It saves on time. Since you’re not making a pie dough from scratch, you can save about 30 minutes of time!
Now, if you have a family pie crust recipe that you adore, you should make that instead! I don’t want to tell anyone what they can do in their own kitchens!
If there’s something you don’t enjoy making, don’t feel bad about using a store-bought shortcut! No one will know and it will still look (and taste!) amazing!
