A Dessert Worth Savoring
Welcome to a culinary experience that will leave you craving for more! Today, we’re exploring a dessert that’s not just mouth-watering but also quite unique—Salted-Butter Apple Galette with Maple Whipped Cream. This French-inspired dessert is perfect for those looking to elevate their dessert game.
This is a dessert that marries the culinary traditions of France and North America. The concept of a “galette,” a rustic, free-form tart, has its roots in French cuisine. It’s a simpler, more forgiving cousin to the traditional French tart, and it’s known for its buttery, flaky crust. The use of salted butter adds a French touch, as salted butter is a staple in French baking.
On the other hand, the filling of apple and the topping of maple whipped cream are nods to North American culinary traditions. Apples are a classic American fruit, often used in pies and crisps, while maple syrup is a quintessentially North American ingredient, hailing from the maple trees of the northeastern United States and Canada.
Together, these elements create a dessert that’s a beautiful blend of flavors and traditions, making it a truly unique dish to savor.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 4 medium apples, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Arrange the Apples: Layer the thinly sliced apples on the pie crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Add Flavor: Drizzle the melted salted butter over the apples. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly.
- Fold and Bake: Fold the edges of the crust over the apples. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Make the Whipped Cream: While the galette is baking, whip the heavy cream and maple syrup until stiff peaks form.
- Serve: Once the galette is done, let it cool slightly before serving with a dollop of maple whipped cream.
