Low-Carb Apple Galette

Low-Carb Apple Galette

I grew up within walking distance of an abandoned apple orchard. Fall would arrive bringing crisp air, crunchy leaves, and an annual stroll through the woodlands to rows of gnarled trees laden with fruit. I would fill a basket and make the decision enroute home what the day’s bounty would yield. Apple sauce if the apples were particularly blemished … pie and cake if time was plentiful … apple butter if I felt chilled … or galette if I was looking for a snack.

Native to France, galettes can be sweet or savory, rustic or refined … in essence, a flakey crust with an exposed, caramelized filling. The Italians call it a crostata … whatever the name, it’s perfect served with a wedge of sharp cheddar and a cup of hot tea.

Low-Carb Apple Galette

Preparing apple pie is perfect in fall, but if you prefer an easier preparation, try its cousin, the galette. It’s half the work, but similar goodness: crispy crust, sweet filling, and naturally low-carb!
