WHAT IS A GALETTE

A french term for flat cake is usually made in free form and does not need a pie dish. The fillings are made of fruits which can vary from apples, berries, peaches, or any fruit you may want to try. The edges are folded on top of the fruits which gives its rustic look.

WHICH APPLE TO USE

Good thing this recipe is versatile which means you can use a variety of apples, from gala, braeburn, granny smith, and Fuji. I decided to use fuji apples because just like gala they are sweet and crispy although fuji is juicier.

Fuji Apples – you can also use gala or granny smith apples. I use just about 2 pieces of it.
