Apple Cinnamon Galette
Packed with filling fiber and the disease-fighting antioxidant quercetin, apples are the quintessential fall fruit. Pair them with cinnamon and prepare for an Autumn treat.
Ingredients
1.5 oz cream cheese, low fat
1 oz butter, unsalted
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 pound of apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
2 Tbsp evaporated cane sugar
2 tsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp egg whites
4 oz vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Add cream cheese, room temperature butter, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and salt to a mixing bowl and mix just until the dough comes together. Chill.
- Preheat oven to 375⁰ F.
- Mix slices of apples with 2 tsp flour, evaporated cane sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
- Roll out the dough to about a 9-inch circle. Brush with egg whites.
- Place apples in the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch edge around the sides. Fold the crust over for a “rustic” look.
- Place on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool completely, then cut into 8 slices. Serve each piece with 1/2 oz of vanilla ice cream.
Apples are on the Environmental Working Group’s Dirty Dozen Plus list, which means they contain a high level of pesticide residues, so try to buy apples that are organic and always wash them thoroughly before eating.
