Ingredients

2 pcs apples core and diced
½ cup cranberries dried and sweetened
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ cup pecan pieces
1 pc pie crust
egg wash for brushing on pastry
rock sugar for dusting on top of pastry, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, combine the apples, both white and brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
Add the cranberries and pecans. Mix and let the mixture sit while preparing the dough for baking.
Roll the pie crust out onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Carefully transfer the apple filling onto the center of the pie crust. Spread it out as evenly as possible, leaving a generous 1” margin around the edge of the pie crust.
Fold the pie crust over the edge of the apple filling. The crust will naturally fold up as you move around the circle of the crust. If any parts of the crust crack or break, pinch them closed or attach them back on.
In a small bowl, crack and beat an egg. Add a small splash of water and beat again. Set aside. Brush the egg wash over the sides and top of the crust only. Do not brush the egg over the filling. Sprinkle the rock sugar over the pastry portion of the galette if using.
Bake for 25 – 30 minutes (on convection) or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Notes

1. It’s best to assemble the galette directly onto the baking sheet to prevent difficulty in transferring.

2. Nutmeg is a very strong spice but quintessentially “fall” or “Christmas” in a lot of baking. I added ¼ tsp, but if you really like those flavors, feel free to add a bit more. I would first try an apple piece after everything is mixed, before you add more.

3. The baking time is approximate. This galette's exact timing was 28 minutes, but every oven is slightly different.

4. It can be served warm or at room temperature. The sugars formed a delicious light caramel at the bottom of the galette, which was absolutely delicious when eaten warm.
