This galette is making me famous in my little circle of friends and family! It turns out perfect every time - and I am not a baker! Thanks again for taking my skills to new heights!

Absolutely perfect, served this and I was a star and so many asks for how it was done. Both the filling and the dough are both very easy and yet impressive

Finally, someone who rolled out a thinner pie crust. On some of these videos, the crust looks nearly as thick a a slice of bread. Great video, as always.

Just made this recipe paired with your vodka dough by hand recipe. The gallete came out amazing. Thank you! You're an amazing teacher. Easy to follow and the results are so good! I will be doing more of your recipes. Thanks again Helen!

I made an apple galette a while ago but making some next week. I watched your video to refresh. Good video :) I am also in Boston. Thank you!!!!

I made this recipe and it is perfect and I would not change a thing! Draining the apples from the juice at the beginning makes such a difference. Thank you for the video!

Hi Helen, as always your recipes are perfect. I made a galette using left over sour cream pastry I froze months ago and only had pears so used them. I put grated marzipan under the fruit, and using your technique, it came out perfectly. Thank you! Regards from Cape Town, Gerald.

Helen, I love your videos & recipes. Thanks for taking the time to be so thorough! I made the apple galette today and it turned out incredibly flaky and delicious! I didn't have apricot preserve or jam for the glaze but I managed to substitute it with molasses. I think the cold vodka in the dough is really the secret to the flaky galette! Of course, I shared a shot (maybe 2) with the dough. :-) My kids have already asked me to make another one. Thanks again for sharing the recipe!

Hi Helen - I think this is better way to make an apple galette but I want your recipe for the pie dough. Thank you 🙏!

[anapao]

[brianjennings]

how precious..(You sure haven't changed much). what a perfect treat, I can do that!💜

[vrobaldo]

OMG...My galette came out even more beautiful than yours!!:)...lol..thank you for the baking tips. They truly made a difference, the sugar in the bottom, the pizza stone in the bottom place in the oven and then move galette to middle...the apples were caramelized and GORGEOUS! Thank you once again, Helen, and a wonderful Holiday Season!
