This dessert marries the comforting flavours of baked California-grown apples with the refreshing tartness of California strawberry sorbet. This rustic-yet-elegant galette features thinly sliced apples that are gently spiced, then nestled within a buttery, flaky puff pastry. The contrast between the warm apples and the icy, fruity strawberry sorbet creates a delightful sensory experience. The tartness of the sorbet harmonizes beautifully with the apple’s sweetness.

Ingredients:

Gallette:

  • 2 California-grown Granny Smith and/or Gala apples, washed, dried and thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup (60mL) sugar
  • 1 lemon, zest
  • 1 tbsp (15mL) cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp (15mL) cornstarch
  • 1 sheet of puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • salt

Sorbet:

  • 1 kg. (2.2 lbs) California strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped (about 6 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (60mL) cold water
  • Garnish: sliced California strawberry

Directions:

Sorbet:

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender. Process until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Strain the strawberry purée mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds and lumps.
  • Transfer into an airtight container or a loaf pan and cover tightly with plastic cling wrap. Freeze for 4 hours.
  • Take the sorbet out of the freezer and whisk it to a slushy consistency. Cover and return to the freezer and leave to fully set, about 4 more hours.

Gallette:

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C / 425°F . Leave the puff pastry out to thaw.
  • In a bowl, combine the sliced California-grown Granny Smith and/or Gala apples, sugar, lemon zest, cinnamon, cornstarch, and a sprinkle of salt. Use a spoon or your hands to mix well.
  • Place the apple mixture in the center of the puff pastry sheet, leaving a 2-3 cm/2-inch border. Carefully, fold the edges towards the center and over each other.
  • Brush the edges with the beaten egg. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Serve with strawberry sorbet.
