Every where, all day I kept seeing 'Happy October!' Everyone was breaking out their boots, and clothes for layering, and waiting for the first leaf to drop. Congratulations friends, the greeting card companies, I'm sure, are eating the hell out of it.
I appreciate October in another way- I buy too many Honey Crisp Apples. They are my absolute favorite apple, hands down. I literally do a cart wheel once they hit the farmer's market.
What to do when you have one that is getting a hairy bruise spot? Make a bomb- ass dessert, obviously!
Save that Apple Galette!
1 pre-packaged 9" refrigerated pie crust
1 apple, diced
2 tbsp water
1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
2 tbsp dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp all spice
1/4-1/2 cup walnut pieces
Topping: 1 tbsp milk & cinnamon sugar to sprinkle
Preheat oven to 425. Pull your pie crust from the fridge.
In a small sauce pan, toss in the apples and water on medium high heat. Once they barely start to soften, add the apple sauce, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and all spice. Cook a few more minutes until the apple chunks are no longer crisp. Let the apple goo cool for a few minutes. (You should probably let it cool down to room temperature, but I'm definitely too impatient for that!)
Unroll the pie crust flat onto a sprayed sheet pan. Dump the apple goo onto the center of the pie crust. Fold over the sides in any messy or perfect way that you choose, just so the folded edge contains the edges of the filling.
Brush the exposed crust with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 15 minutes.
Pull out the galette, toss the walnuts on top of the exposed filling and sprinkle the center with cinnamon sugar. Bake 5 more minutes. YUM! Share it with your favorite people!!
Happy Autumn, friends!
xoxo Sam
