Caramel Apple Crisp Galette

Caramel Apple Crisp Galette

This caramel apple crisp galette is a delicious combination of two classic fall desserts. A flaky pie crust is filled with tender sliced apples and topped with a generous layer of buttery brown sugar oat crumble with cinnamon. Once baked, it’s finished with a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra layer of sweetness. It’s rustic, beautiful, and so much easier to make than a traditional apple pie!

How to Make a Caramel Apple Crisp Galette

One of the best things about making a galette is how simple it is. There’s no need for a pie plate, perfect edges, or any complicated crust work. Just assemble, fold, and bake!

The pie crust: Start with a store-bought refrigerated pie crust to keep things especially easy. If you prefer homemade, you can use the pie crust from my Homemade Pop Tarts recipe. It’s buttery, flaky, and works beautifully for this galette.

The apple filling: Thinly slice your apples and arrange them over the pie crust, leaving a border around the edges. Choose firm baking apples that hold their shape in the oven, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a combination of the two.

The oat crumble: Mix brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and butter to create a generous crumble topping. Scatter it over the apples to add a delicious buttery crunch and give this galette its apple crisp inspiration.

The caramel drizzle: Once baked, allow the galette to cool slightly before drizzling with caramel sauce. Use your favorite store-bought caramel sauce or make a batch of my homemade Golden Butterscotch Sauce. It has a rich, buttery flavor that pairs especially well with the apples and cinnamon.

Equipment You’ll Need

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Mixing bowls
• Sharp knife and cutting board for slicing the apples
• Pastry brush for brushing the crust, if needed

Serving Suggestions

Serve this caramel apple crisp galette slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The combination of warm cinnamon apples, buttery oat crumble, flaky crust, and caramel sauce makes it especially lovely for fall gatherings and holiday desserts.

Storage

Cover leftover galette and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The crust and crumble taste best on the day you bake them, but you can warm leftovers in a 300°F oven until heated through to help crisp them up again.
