Caramel Apple Galette

Since making my first galette, I've been wanting to try another flavour combination.  I decided to make another batch of my homemade caramel sauce.  But this time I used cream instead of milk to make the caramel sauce even more delicious.

I love that this pastry is so easy to make and the rest time is only an hour.  The addition of apples makes the galette taste almost like an apple pie.

This Caramel Apple Galette is simply delicious.  It is made from a sweet pastry dough which is light and flaky. The centre of the galette is filled with juicy apple slices and finally drizzled with some sweet homemade caramel sauce.

If you have never made galettes, I hope you give this recipe a go.
