ThemedDessertClassic SwapOne-panFrenchWeekend
Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) refrigerated pie dough round
- 2 medium ripe late-season tomatoes
- 2 medium firm sweet apples
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp coarse sugar for sprinkling
- 1/8 tsp pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour for dusting
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly flour a clean surface and unroll the pie dough into a rough circle.
- 2Transfer the dough to the prepared sheet. Using a sharp knife, core the apples and slice them into thin half-moons about 1/8-inch thick. Slice the tomatoes into matching thin rounds and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- 3Arrange alternating apple and tomato slices in overlapping concentric circles on the dough, leaving a 2-inch border all around. The fruit should look abundant but not piled high.
- 4Drizzle honey evenly over the fruit. Sprinkle the granulated sugar, fresh thyme leaves, and salt across the top so every bite is lightly sweet and herby.
- 5Fold the bare dough border up and over the edge of the fruit, pleating it loosely as you go to form a rustic free-form crust. The center stays open and colorful.
- 6Beat the egg with a splash of water to make a simple wash. Brush the wash over the folded crust edges, then sprinkle coarse sugar on the dough for sparkle and crunch.
- 7Bake for 28 to 32 minutes until the crust is deep golden brown and the fruit looks soft and lightly caramelized at the edges. The tomatoes will release a little juice that mingles with the honey.
- 8Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool on the sheet for 10 minutes so the juices set slightly. Transfer carefully to a serving board.
- 9Slice into wedges with a sharp knife. Serve warm or at room temperature; the unexpected tomato-apple pairing feels bakery-special yet completely home-cook friendly.
