APPLE AND GINGER GALETTES
PREP TIME 10-15 minutes
COOK TIME 25-30 minutes
SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS
2 sheets frozen sweet shortcrust pastry, just thawed
3 red delicious apples, cored and cut into wedges
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp demerara or raw sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
1 egg
METHOD
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the apple wedges, grated ginger, and sugar, tossing well to evenly coat the apples.
Step 2
Place an oven-proof pan over medium heat, then add the apple mixture, spreading the slices evenly across the bottom. Allow them to gently caramelise for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Lay a sheet of pastry over the apples, tucking in the edges around the apples to form a snug covering. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake at 200°C for about 25 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the apples are tender.
Step 4
To serve, carefully flip the galette onto a plate, pastry-side down. Sprinkle with a little extra demerara sugar for added crunch and enjoy the warm, spiced flavours of apple and ginger.
