Description

A flaky galette with fresh figs, tart apples, and a bit of sweet ricotta. The perfect dessert to celebrate fresh fig season and ease your way into Autumn.

Ingredients
  • 2 large apples (I used 1 Granny Smith and 1 Pink Lady)
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 3-4 fresh figs
  • 1 pie crust (homemade or store bought)
  • 3 tbsp ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
Instructions
    Prepare the Figs and Apples
  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

  2. 2

    Peel and thinly slice the apples. Add to a large bowl and top with ¼ cup brown sugar, fresh lemon juice, zest of 1 lemon, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground ginger powder, and sea salt.

  3. 3

    Stir to coat the apples in the sugar mixture. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Remove the stems from each fig and thinly slice, length-wise. Set aside.

  5. Assemble the Fig and Apple Galette
  6. 5

    Roll out your pie crust to ⅛ inch thick. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

  7. 6

    Spoon the ricotta cheese into the center of the pie crust. Use the back of the spoon to spread the ricotta into a thin layer across the crust, leaving 2 inches around the perimeter.

  8. 7

    Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on top of the layer of ricotta, overlapping them slightly into a domino effect.

  9. 8

    Arrange the fig slices on top of the apple slices, overlapping them with the apples if desired.

  10. 9

    Fold the pie crust dough over the edge of the fruit in the center, using any leftover dough to mend any tears.

  11. 10

    In a bowl, gently whisk the egg with the heavy cream until evenly mixed. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash mixture across the crust.

  12. 11

    Sprinkle the additional 2 tablespoons of brown sugar across the entire galette, including the crust.

  13. Bake, Rest, and Serve
  14. 12

    Bake the galette on the prepared tray for 35-40 minutes, until the crust is brown and flake and  the fruit is soft.

  15. 13

    Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.

  16. 14

    Transfer to a serving tray, slice, and enjoy!
