And it tastes like you spent hours creating this rustic-looking wonder. While there are truly terrific recipes in Jacques newest cookbook, Jacques Pépin’s Heart & Soul in the Kitchen, we fell in love with this one in his fruit dessert section… simple, easy, fantastic.

Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 pound pizza dough prepared, regular or whole wheat
  • 3 apples large, Golden Delicious (about 1½ lbs.)
  • 4 tablespoons butter unsalted, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/3 cup apricot preserves
Servings:
Instructions
  1. Sprinkle two tablespoons of sugar on a baking sheet lined with nonstick aluminum foil. Place the pizza dough on top and press it out with your hands as thin as possible. Let it rest at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. (Then) press the dough out further into a roundish 12-inch shape. (It will be less elastic and easier to stretch after it has rested.)
  3. Peel and core the apples and cut each one into 8 wedges. Starting about 1/2 inch from the outer edges of the round of dough, arrange the apple wedges in concentric circles on top, pushing them gently into the dough. Dot with the butter and sprinkle evenly with the remaining sugar.
  4. Bake the galette for 45 minutes, or until nicely browned and crusty. Slide a spatula underneath the galette while it is still hot to make certain it hasn't stuck to the sheet, and then let cool on the sheet. Spread the apricot preserves on top. Cut the galette into wedges and serve at room temperature.

    This recipe is so deceptively simple, it is AMAZING! My husband and I loved that it wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet. The golden delicious have a lovely flowery taste and smell. It is just wonderful straight out of the oven with nothing on it. Why mess it up with confectioners sugar or even cinnamon….Definitely will do this again and it is truly company worthy.

    Baking this dish on a cold winter’s night. Can’t wait to have a slice! Glad I had some leftover pizza dough.

    This was a delightful brunch yummy! I had a bag of pizza dough and apples….and this recipe! All was good! I gave it to some friends living alone and could use a little friendship yummy about now. Thank you for the incentive! Oh, I used raspberry preserves, and it was delicious. Oh, and wouldn’t it be grand to put 2 tablespoons of cream cheese in the center as well!??
    Enjoyed it!!

    The sugar on the bottom made it burn and 45 min was way too long…has potential though!

      Agree about the sugar on the bottom. Also stuck to non-stick foil with carmelized sugar so not a good result for me.

        I should have taken that advice. I tried to put spatula under immediately after removing from oven and realized that wasn’t happening

    Could you use parchment paper

      Don’t see why you couldn’t.

    If made the night before, should it sit at room temp or should it be refrigerated ?

    Loved the ease of this recipe but do not use the sugar on the bottom method if you are using aluminium foil–the whole recipe took me about and hour and it took about an hour extra to painstakingly peel the non-stick aluminium foil off that was stuck to the bottom…

    Biggest mistake to use aluminum foil I have to throw the whole pie to the trash so I can’t say if was good very disappointed ☹️

      Looks like several people had trouble because of the foil. I might try parchment.
