The recipe,
step by step

  1. 1

    Puff pastry

    • Using the dough hook of the stand mixer, combine the two types of flour, butter and salt while slowly drizzling in the vinegar and water.
    • Form into a ball and let rest in the refrigerator.
    • Roll out the dough, inserting and enclosing the sheet of butter in it.
    • Give it its turns. 
  2. 2

    Caramelized apples

    • Peel the apples and cut into quarters.
    • Prepare a dry caramel, deglaze with the butter and calvados.
    • Sauté the apple quarters until translucent, caramel in colour and soft all the way through.
    • Finish baking in a 140°C oven for approximately 20 to 40 minutes (depending on how cooked they were in the pan) to extract as much moisture as possible.
    • Let cool. 
  3. 3

    Frangipane cream

    • Cream the softened butter with the sugar.
    • Add the ground almonds and flour, then gradually add the eggs.
    • Stir the room-temperature pastry cream, combine the two mixtures and add the warmed alcohol. 
  4. 4

    Pastry cream

    • Prepare a traditional pastry cream. 
  5. 5

    Cream egg wash

    • Combine all ingredients and set aside in the refrigerator.  
  6. 6

    Caramelized oats

    • Heat the water and sugar to 117°C.
    • Add the rolled oats, stir to coat with the sugar syrup and let caramelize.
    • Add the butter and fleur de sel.
    • Remove from the heat and let cool. 
  7. 7

    Galette finishing touches

     

    • Perform 5 single turns, respecting the resting time between turns.
    • Roll out the dough to a thickness of 2 mm and cut into Ø26 cm circles.
    • Let rest. 
    • Pipe 330 g of frangipane cream into Ø20 cm rings on a sheet of baking paper.
    • Cut the caramelized apple quarters in half crosswise and insert 160 g of apple pieces into each frangipane insert.
    • Sprinkle the apple pieces with a few dry sponge crumbs then place in the freezer. 
    • Using a pastry brush, moisten the edges of a puff pastry circle with water.
    • Place a frangipane insert in the centre.
    • Top with another circle of puff pastry and close the galette, giving it a quarter turn.
    • Turn the galette over, brush it three times with egg wash (leave in the refrigerator for 30 minutes between each application).
    • Score curved lines radiating out from the centre as for a Pithiviers galette. Prick with a fork and bake in a 170°C convection oven for approximately 40 minutes.
    • Remove from the oven, sprinkle with dextrose and bake for another 10 minutes at 170°C (fan full speed). 
    • Let cool, then place a Ø5 cm ring in the centre of the galette, moisten with a little syrup and sprinkle with caramelized oats.
