i had still more sweet tart dough

to use for something delicious

so i made my first galette.

 

went into the dark rainy evening

to gather some apples from our tree

and threw a few things together

Preheat oven to 400F. Slice about 3 medium apples (or other fruit) into thin pieces. Place apples in bowl and add a few tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon ground cardamom, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, & 1/4 c chopped walnuts. On lightly floured surface, roll out tart dough into a large, sturdy circle. Carefully transfer dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread fruit evenly in center of dough circle (apples look nice fanned out in concentric circles if you have the time), leaving a few inches of dough around the edges. Fold edges in. Brush edges of dough with some milk and sprinkle sugar over the top of the galette. Bake for 20 minutes at 400F, & another 20-30 minutes at 375F. Crust should be golden brown and fruit should be soft/tender. Slice and serve with vanilla ice cream & a drizzle of maple syrup, or some homemade fig jam. Yes.
