Apple Galette with Cranberries is a rustic, free-form tart featuring tender, spiced apples and tart cranberries wrapped in a flaky, buttery crust. Glazed with apricot jam, it’s perfect for fall gatherings, brunches, or holiday desserts.

Ingredients

Galette Crust:

6 ¾ ounces all-purpose flour (1 ½ cups)

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon kosher salt (or ½ teaspoon table salt)

12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into pats

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or other vinegar)

2–3 tablespoons ice water

Apple Galette Filling:

5 apples, cored and thinly sliced (Honeycrisp and Pink Lady recommended)

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon kosher salt (pinch of table salt)

¼ cup cranberries (frozen or fresh)

Galette Glaze:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

¼ cup apricot jam

Instructions

  1. Make the Galette Crust: In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Pulse to mix.
  2. Add cold butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Mix ice water and apple cider vinegar together, then add gradually while pulsing until dough just comes together.
  4. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  5. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cranberries. Toss gently to coat.
  6. Assemble the Galette: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Roll out chilled dough into a roughly 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to baking sheet.
  8. Pile the apple mixture in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over filling, pleating as necessary.
  9. Bake for 35–45 minutes, until crust is golden and apples are tender.
  10. While baking, melt butter and apricot jam together over low heat to make glaze. Brush over warm galette immediately after removing from oven.
  11. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the filling for crunch.

Swap cranberries for raspberries or pomegranate seeds for a different tart flavor.

Sprinkle coarse sugar on the crust before baking for extra crunch.

Add a teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract to the filling for extra aroma.

Make it gluten-free by substituting flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend.
