Like an apple pie without the additional crust and work, this rustic apple galette will give you something to smile about.

With a single pie crust and a few apples, you can create a beautiful artistic looking dessert without a hassle. Save time, impress guests, and get a tasty treat out of the deal, sounds great, right?

An apple galette is just one of my latest galette recipes to grace this website. My strawberry galette is perfect for spring when the berries are fresh off of the vine.

This apple galette recipe is perfect for fall when apple orchards open up and we can go pick our own.

Of course, you can always just buy the fruit needed from your grocery store and thankfully you can buy fresh produce all year long. This means you can enjoy recipes like this rustic apple galette whenever the mood strikes. And trust me, it strikes often!

What I truly love about galettes like this one here is that they’re so stupidly simple it’s practically impossible to mess them up. It’s a sheet pan and a pie crust folded up over a filling.

Nothing crazy, and even if the crust folds up wonky it still looks great once baked and tastes great too. Pro tip: hide any awkward folds in the crust with scoops of vanilla ice cream and no one else will notice. 😉

How to Make Rustic Apple Galette

Preheat your oven to 375F degrees.
In a glass mixing bowl, combine the apples, cinnamon, cloves, flour, lemon juice and sugar. Toss until well coated and mixed.
Place your pie crust on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Pour the prepared apple filling into the center of the pie crust. Leave about 3 inches of space around the pie crust edge.
Fold the edge of the pie crust up and around the filling. Tuck it in as you fold (I have a video to help demonstrate this).
Dot the top of the apple filling with butter.
In a small bowl, combine your egg and water.
Brush the top of the pie crust with the egg wash and then sprinkle with caster sugar.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pie crust is a nice golden brown color.

How long does a galette keep?

You can make and prepare a pie crust up to three days in advance and keep it stored in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
You can also store pie crust in the freezer for about 3 months before thawing and using. The pie filling itself shouldn’t be made too far in advance as apples will brown the longer that they are exposed to the air.
