This Apple Puff Pastry Galette brings rustic charm and cozy flavors together in one show-stopping tart. With layers of homemade rough puff pastry and tender apple slices kissed with brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest, this dessert is equal parts flaky, fruity, and fabulous.
What makes this galette special is its balance of sophistication and simplicity. No fussing over pie pans or perfect lattice tops—just buttery pastry wrapped around caramelized apples, baked until golden and bubbling. It’s the kind of dessert that feels like fall in every bite, though it’s welcome at the table year-round.
Top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a swipe of warm apricot jam for a bakery-style finish that looks (and tastes) far fancier than the effort it takes.

How to Make Apple Puff Pastry Galette
Make the Rough Puff Pastry:
Combine flour, sugar, salt, and cold butter. Cut into pea-sized pieces. Add lemon juice to water and drizzle into flour mix to form a cohesive dough. Roll, fold, and chill the dough as described (6 folds total).
Chill:
Shape into a round, wrap tightly, and chill for at least 2 hours or freeze for later.
Prepare Apple Filling:
Mix apples with brown sugar, lemon juice and zest, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla.
Assemble the Galette:
Roll dough into a 13-inch circle. Add apples to center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over apples. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake:
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 45–50 minutes.
Finish:
Let rest for 20 minutes. Optionally brush apples with warmed apricot jam. Serve warm with ice cream.
-
