This mini apple dessert recipe is really easy to make: prepare a crust from scratch, some apple sauce and apples. The topping is optional but who can say no to a perfectly sweet homemade whipped cream.

If you love apple desserts, you should try my apple crumble tart or my strawberry and apple crumble or even go for some savoury with the apple and beet carpaccio.

🥣 Ingredients Needed

Let's gather the ingredients and measure them before starting to bake. Preparing what you will need makes the baking process easier.

For the mini galettes:

• Apples: I use Gala apples but you can also use Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or your favorite ones!
• Cold butter: I use salted because I love that little hint of salt in my crust when I bake. Feel free to use an unsalted one.
• Water: It needs to be cold so the butter stay cold.
• Apple sauce: it can be store-bought or homemade but also sweetened or unsweetened.
• Cinnamon: It adds a subtle Fall flavour to the recipe.

For the whipped cream:

• Heavy cream: You can not use any other cream, you need the 35% fat.
• Honey: It can be flavoured if you wish.
• Cinnamon: It can be optional but half a teaspoon of this warm spice flavour brings the apple galette recipe together.

📋 Variations

If you do not have all the ingredients or simply prefer to use another one, I got you covered:

• Crust: If you are in a rush, you can use puff pastry or other type of crust such as shortbread crust.
• Apple sauce: you can use any fruit sauce or a delicious jam.
• Apples: You could sauté them in a hot pan with some butter and caramelize them. It would had a delicious flavour.
• Honey: Any other sweetener would work such as sugar or maple sirup.
• Toppings: If you do not want whipped cream, you can drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream! You can also top it up with some almond or walnuts.

👩🏻‍🍳 Preparation

The recipe has 2 main steps: preparing the crust and adding the apple sauce and fresh apples.

Let's start by making the pie crust. In a mixing bowl, mix the butter and flour together until it crumbles between your fingers or until using a dough blender (Pictures 1 and 2).

Then, gradually add the water until the ball is smooth. Don't overwork the dough! Place it 30 minutes in the fridge wrapped in clingfilm (Picture 3).

Next, cut the dough in 4 and roll it individually on a lightly floured surface (Picture 4).

Now, wash and cut the apples in quarters. Slice out the core and thinly cut the apple into slices (Picture 5).

Then, spread a tablespoon of apple sauce on the pie crust and add the apple slices on top, gently fold the rim of the dough up and over the edge of the slices (Picture 6).

Optional egg wash: In a small ramekin, mix an egg yolk and a teaspoon of water. Using a baking brush, brush the folded side of the crust and sprinkle with some Demerara sugar.

Lastly, bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

And finally, to make the whipped cream, in a large bowl, pour the heavy cream, honey and cinnamon. Using an electric whisk, beat the cream until firm (about 2-3 minutes).

Using a spoon, scoop a generous portion of honey whipped cream and place it on top of the apple galette. Not using a piping bag amplifies the rustic look of these mini desserts.
