Apple Galette


as you know i have no kitchen at the moment. this past month has been somewhere between a nightmare and lovely day dream. the condo purchase fell through, actually it was more like an implosion. but that's cool; i (for the first time in our 3 years together) heeded josh's advice and PRE-PACKED - over a month ago. yeah don't ever do that - unless you enjoy jamming your shins on cardboard edges every morning and trying to cook a dinner without cutting boards. try it, its really fulfilling. keep wine on hand. lots of wine.
ok so i still have my cookie sheets because although i was effected by my overly active husband - i was not fully converted and gave up packing about 2 hours in. so really i am half-packed. like i said i have a cookie sheet. and apples are in season so whadda ya do when that happens? make a pseudo apple pie also known to me as an apple galette. i'm so fancy.


my instructions:
1. check out my recipe for the best apple pie ever here
2. make half the dough
3. instead of chopping the apples, slice them thin
4. roll the dough out, place on cookie sheet
5. lay apple sliced over the dough (make pretty pattern), leaving about 6" from the dough edge
6. fold dough over, drop in butter and brush with egg wash
7. bake as usual, cut the time by about 10 minutes since the apples cook faster.
8. enjoy!
