Easy Apple Gallette - French Apple Tarte

Apple Gallette
Credit for this very easy and quick recipe goes to our friend Sian. This will work well with apples or pears.The best apples to use are Belle de Boskoop [ used throughout France for apple tarte] but any firm aromatic variety will work well.[Suntan,Ribston Pippin,Cox,King of the Pippins etc.]
Belle de Boskoop a large dessert / cooking apple from Holland ...quite tart

 Pears,if used want to be a touch under ripe Conference is as good as any. 
Other ingredients ;
1.Just Roll Puff Pastry
Roll out Thin

2.Carnation Caramel 
Commonly Available
Apply thinly and sprinkle with salt to counter the sweetness

3.Apricot Jam
Thin the apricot jam to a glaze by adding water and warming gently
Peel and slice the apples arrange semi circles neatly, you can probably do better than this
Why not make one for the freezer
Glaze with the jam and bake until golden brown
Put the kettle on

  1. Lovely recipe - my wife's diabetic so this one's for the rest of the family! Our apple pastries generally have to be cinnamon/mixed spice (no sugar) even the sloe gin is made with vanilla from an old Dorset recipe. Has anyone any other substitutes for sugar with fruit? Happy for me to recommend the site on www.enjoy-retirement.com ?
