    Apple Galette

    A galette is traditionally a round, flat sweet dish with a pastry or pancake-type base. This rectangular puff pastry version is topped with Pink Lady apples, a summer eating variety that has a wonderful colour and flavour. Try this recipe, served hot or cold, instead of an apple pie.

    • 3 tbsp Waitrose Pure Apple Juice

    Cook's tips

    If you prefer, make 4 individual galettes by cutting the pastry into 4 pieces and rolling out into 10 x 16cm rectangles. For a subtle brandy flavour, replace 1 tbsp of the apple juice with calvados.
