Receta Cranberry Apple Galette
If you are in need of a last minute dessert to make for your Christmas celebration, you've come to the right place. I made this galette simply because I had some leftover ingredients in the refrigerator that I wanted to use up. The prep work for this dish is minimal but it does need to spend 35-40 minutes in the oven so make sure you at least plan ahead for that!
Galettes are one of my favorite dishes to make because they are incredibly simple, incredibly versatile and are meant to look rustic, meaning you don't need to worry about perfectly crimped pie edges or lattice tops or uncracked cheesecakes.
The combination of apples and cranberries is definitely a festive one, but you could also use apples and pears, pears and cranberries, peaches, or just about any fruit that you can easily slice up and that would bake well in a pie.
