Apple Spice Galette

A great holiday treat that cuts down on refined sugar and that’s great on taste is a fruit galette made with fresh or frozen fruit and no white sugar. It’s excellent as a dessert, on its own, or with a dollop of vanilla coconut ice cream or whipped cream.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 4 c. peeled and sliced sweet apples
• 1/2 juice from 1/2 freshly squeezed lemon
• 2 tsp. lemon extract
• 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. allspice
• 1/2 tsp. ginger
• 3/4 c. raisins (or combination of raisins and dried cranberries)
• 1/2 c. candied pecans, chopped
• 1 organic, pastry pie crust

Method

 

1. In a large bowl, add in apples, lemon juice, extract, spices, raisins, and pecans. Mix.
2. On a cookie sheet, place parchment paper.
3. With a pencil, measure parchment paper to cover the bottom of the cookie sheet and cut paper with a scissor.
4. Spray parchment paper with a bit of coconut oil spray.
5. Roll out the pie shell in its wrap, and smooth out the wrinkles with a rolliing pin.
6. Peel off the dough's top layer of paper and place face down on the parchment paper.
7. In the center of the dough, place the apple mixture in a mound.
8. Fold the edges of the dough over themselves around the fruit center.
9. Bake galette in the oven at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes. Apples will be soft and the crust will be a slight golden brown.

Notes

Serve galette warm by itself, with a dollop of vanilla coconut ice cream or another favorite topping to your liking.
