EASY APPLE GALETTE

This galette is made with the refrigerated pie dough you'll find the rolls of at most grocery stores. You can easily substitute your favorite pie dough if you want to make the dough from scratch. Using the pre-made dough makes this galette super easy. The apple variety can change the flavor of the galette quite a bit. Some of our favorite pie apples that we find near us are: Honeycrisps, Gala, Fuji, Granny Smiths, Opals, and the Jonathans or Jonagolds. See post above for additional recipe details.
