What is Apple Galette?
But back to le galette! Speaking of which, what is this fancy-sounding dessert? A galette is a sweet or savory, rustic-looking pastry.
How Do You Store Apple Galette?
This Low-Carb Apple Galette doesn’t last long in our house. With two grown boys now in their twenties, I have few if any leftovers these days when they’re home. But if you’re wondering how to store your apple galette, simply make sure that it cools overnight, then wrap it in tin foil and refrigerate for up to five days.
Apple Galette vs Apple Pie
The boys and I love making apple galettes because they’re so easy to throw together. Pies and galettes are both pastry-based desserts that are filled then baked, but galettes are much less fussy than pies.
Rustic Apple Pie
In fact, we can think of an apple galette as the lazy baker’s rustic apple pie baked on a baking sheet instead of in a pie pan. As opposed to pie, with galettes, there is no crimping, blind baking, latticework, and other kinds of fancy stuff that takes loads of time but rarely if ever improves flavor when it comes to the final result.
