apple galette

Free-form fruit pastry

An apple galette is a rustic French pastry—sliced apples arranged on a round of dough, the edges folded loosely over the fruit, then baked.

Unlike a pie, it's freeform rather than shaped by a pan, giving it a casual, homemade appearance: The apple galette was golden and still warm from the oven.
