Apple Galette for One | Small Batch Dessert

An apple galette is French in origin and a free form rustic pie. No crimping, trimming or pie dish required and it's the perfect amount for one person.

Ingredients
Crust:
1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp all purpose flour
pinch of salt
1 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp cold, salted butter
2-3 tsp ice cold water
Filling:
One apple, peeled and cored and sliced to 1/4 inch slices.
1/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
1/2 tsp cornstarch
1-2 Tbsp sugar depending on how sweet you want your apples.
1/2 Tbsp butter, salted.

Directions:
Crust:
in a bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar and butter. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to combine the mixture until it resembles damp sand.
Add in 2-3 tsp (a tsp at a time) of cold water until the dough comes together, you don't want it wet.
If the dough is too soft or sticky to roll out, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
To roll it out, place the dough, flattened into a disc between two sheets of lightly floured parchment paper. Roll out with a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thick.
Remove top piece of parchment paper and place the crust on the other piece of parchment paper onto a baking sheet.
Add sliced apples to the center of dough, leaving a 1-2 inch border of crust showing.
In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, sugar and mix.
Sprinkle over top of apples.
Dot apples with 1/2 T bsp butter
Fold the crust up and around the apple filling, leaving the middle exposed. Make tucks in the dough as you fold it around the apples.
For a golden brown, shiny pie crust, beat an egg and brush the dough with the egg. Sprinkle with a bit of coarse sugar if desired.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
Serve with ice cream and caramel sauce.

Welcome to my Kitchen! I'm Leigh Anne, the mother of four adult children and my husband and I are now empty nesters. I know the challenges of learning to cook for just the 2 of you, it feels like learning to cook all over again! After the kids left home, I found that I stopped making a lot of our family's favorite dishes and treats because those recipes just made too much food and I was tempted to eat too much!
On this channel, I invite you into my kitchen each week where we learn how to make small batch recipes with big taste. You can still enjoy all those family favorite recipes, just less of it!I look forward to meeting you in the kitchen each week with a new recipe and video.

I appreciate all your meals for 1. People who have a household of 1, can appreciate these recipes.

[fondasarff]

I didn't have too much trouble going from cooking for a family to cooking for two but going from two to one has been a struggle. Thank you for your videos.

[donitaforrest]

Totally going to do that! I'm single & 70 .... love your recipes for one ❣🇨🇦😊👍

Apple galette for one is a great idea. I like to leave the dough in the fridge at least a half hour to allow time for complete hydration and for a better crust texture. Thanks.

[figmo]

I love that this is an easy dessert for one. I live alone and appreciate this!

[apfelstrudel]

I added this video to my personal, private Playlist for referencing again later. Very excited about the vast possibilities of Fillings for using in these little "Single Serve" Pies.

Leigh Anne, Thank You for this recipe! I had been trying to create an apple dumpling recipe for one using the same basic ingredients! Differences, I was using store bought crust, will now use your recipe. Also, I substitute a little brown sugar for part of white sugar & I always freshly grate my nutmeg because flavor is much more intense! ❤❤

This is what I have been looking for for so long. Here we go. Thanks a lot. South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦😋😋

Thanks. I appreciate that you got right to making the dessert without a long-winded preliminary. The galette looks yummy, too. Subscribed!

Absolutely delicious. I wasted no time and tried it immediately. So glad I found this channel.

I knew I had my hubby buy 5 very large Honey Crisp apples for a reason! They were even on sale. ❤ Looks yummy. Thanks for the recipe. ❤

[juliefromusa]

My husband will love this! Thank you!

[DeKalbGal]

I just bought this one from Aldi, it's from Germany and it's filled up with beeries 🤤🤤🤤 It's so good it should be illegal!!!

[kathleenshannon]

Looks so good and easy to make! Thank you for sharing with us.

[HermitCrone]

Yum! I have 2 Granny Smiths on my table, just waiting for a small serving galette recipe. Going to make them this afternoon, one for me, and one for my daughter. 😊

[Ppw]

I made this today. Excellent and fast 👍.It’s enough for 2. Perfect for me. This is my 3rd attempt at a galette recipe and I finally succeeded. The other 2 crust recipes were much more involved and it was for a double 9 inch.

[nannysgingerbreadhouse]

I made these for my grandson, just didn't know what you call it, so lovely!😊

[Cantergallop]

Thank you so much for making this super easy recipe!!

[janetm]

I love how you act so laid back about it all 😅 Exactly the way I like to cook! 😊
