You can make the filling up to 2 days ahead of time and you can even pre-make the dough as well. When you’re ready to bake, all you need to do is to roll out the dough and add the apple filling. Voila! Within an hour you’ll have a delicious, elegant and absolutely beautiful galette to share with friends and family.
For peeling just a handful of apples, we love our OXO peeler. But if we have a ton of apple recipes to make, then we’ll go to our Johnny Apple Peeler or the KitchenAid stand mixer attachment. Both are great.
The apple variety can change the flavor of the galette quite a bit. Some of our favorite pie apples that we find near us are: Honeycrisps, Gala, Fuji, Granny Smiths, Opals, and the Jonathans or Jonagolds. What are your favorite apples for pies and galettes?

Made this for Christmas Eve dinner at our son’s family home. It was so delicious, has its own caramel sauce. Used the tenderflake shortening pie dough recipe, very flaky, and crisp on the edges. -
