There is nothing quite like hot baked apples and pastry, just out of the oven and smothered in cream or ice-cream, or custard - it's all so delicious and wholesome.
What I love about galettes is how quick they are to prepare, how versatile they are ( you can so easily change the fruit to pears or berries for instance, add in some nuts, or alter the flavours), and how they can be as rustic or as fancy as you want and still look and taste delicious.
I've added an almond cream in this galette, a slight adaptation of a really great almond cream by Laduree which adds an extra degree of flavour and creamy lusciousness, whilst protecting the pastry from any moisture released by the fruit so that it remains crisp.
