Chocolate and Caramel Apple Galette

I have a sweet tooth. It is necessary for me to cleanse my palate with chocolate post dinner. I need chocolate and buttered popcorn to survive.


This is a very simple and delicious fall dessert. You can definitely make your own dough, but I decided to keep it as simple as possible and buy pre-made pie crusts. Follow along!


Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Peel and slice two apples. I used Gala apples, but you can use your favorite varietal.
Place three tablespoons of unsalted butter into saucepan over medium heat, until melted. Sorry for the blurry photo.
Add the brown sugar and cinnamon to the apples and cook until apples are softened, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Spread one pie crust on a baking sheet and pour on the apple mixture, leaving a 1 1/2-2 inch border.
For the chocolate and caramel concoction, quarter five Rolos and place over the mixture. Then gently fold your pie crust. It will look great no matter what, don't fret!
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes until edges are golden brown and the smell is intoxicating. Slice the galette into quarters and enjoy!


Recipe from Picky Palate

2 peeled and sliced apples, I used Gala
3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 pre-made pie crust
5 Rolos, quartered


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and slice apples. Melt butter in saucepan over medium. Add brown sugar and cinnamon (you could also add some nutmeg) to saucepan. Add sliced apples and cook over medium until apples are softened, 5-7 minutes. 
Unroll one pie crust on a baking pan and pour on apple mixture, leaving a 1 1/2-2 inch border. Quarter five Rolos and place on apple mixture. Gently fold pie crust over apple mixture, creating a pleated edge.
Bake for 35 minutes until crust browns and apples are cooked through. Remove and let cool slightly.
Dig in!


I also found this wonderful apple galette tutorial from Elephantine, with a great tune! Rachel from Elephantine makes the crust look so easy. Check it out...
