Blue Ribbon Recipe by

A galette is basically a free-formed one-crust pie. It can be a dessert, main dish, or appetizer. When you think of it that way, ANYTHING can be put into a galette! This is one that I came up with when I was thinking of making fried apples for dinner.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Apple cranberry galette may sound fancy but it's an easy fall dessert. The seasonings Teresa chose are perfectly balanced and enhance the natural flavors of the fruit. The beauty of a galette is that it doesn't have to be perfect. Basically, it's a free-form pie. We used a pre-made pie crust and this was super easy to prepare. A great fall dessert recipe if you aren't a pie expert but want all the flavors of a pie.

How To Make apple cranberry galette

Test Kitchen Tips
When cooking the filling on the stove, cook until the apples are done to your liking. Then add the cranberries because they cook very quickly. Baking in the oven is only for the crust to be cooked.
  • Cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray.
    1
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Melting butter in a skillet.
    2

  • Coated apples cooking in a skillet.
    4
    Toss and add to skillet.

    Unroll pie crust onto prepared pan. Spread so it makes an uneven circle.
