Honey-Glazed Apple-Shaped Galette

If you’re a baked apple fan, try this easy, open-faced baked apple galette. It takes minutes to put together, and your guests will be wowed! This recipe is for one galette, but you’ll have enough dough from one package of rolled puff pastry to make two galettes. Either double the recipe or make something else from your leftover dough, since this recipe can’t be frozen — it’s best served fresh out of the oven.

YIELDS 1 GALETTE

• ½ 21-oz (600-g) pkg puff pastry, defrosted but still cool
• 5 Tbsp sugar, divided, plus more for sprinkling
• 1 Tbsp cinnamon
• 4 Granny Smith apples
• ¼ cup plain bread crumbs
• 1 egg
• 3 Tbsp honey

Sprinkle a piece of parchment paper with sugar. Place your dough on top and roll out slightly into a 12×12-inch (30×30-cm) square to get an apple shape.

Make a little mark in the center of your dough, about an inch (2¹⁄₂ cm) from the top. Cut the dough into a rounded apple shape on one side, then lightly flip over the cut-out piece, using it as your stencil as you cut out the second side. (Don’t discard the extra dough, since you’ll shape it into the stem and leaves.) You can also draw an apple shape on a piece of paper and put that on your dough as a stencil.

Mix 3 Tbsp sugar with cinnamon and set aside.
