Hey there, foodies! Today I’m super excited to share one of my absolute favorite afternoon treats that’ll make you feel like you’re dining at a fancy farm-to-table restaurant. Trust me, this Rustic Honey Lavender Apple Galette is about to become your new obsession! 💁♀️
You know those moments when you want something that’s both impressive and comforting? This recipe hits all the right spots! I discovered it while experimenting in my kitchen (okay, fine, after binge-watching way too many baking shows), and let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer.
First, let’s gather our ingredients (I know, I know, the boring part, but stick with me!):
– 2 large Honeycrisp apples (because we’re fancy like that)
– 1 homemade pie crust (or store-bought if you’re having one of those days – no judgment!)
– 3 tablespoons local honey
– 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1 egg for washing
– A pinch of sea salt
– A sprinkle of raw sugar
Now, let’s get our hands dirty! 👩🍳
1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (because a hot oven is a happy oven).
1. Roll out that pie crust into a rough circle – and don’t stress about making it perfect! We’re going for rustic vibes here, ladies!
1. Slice those apples nice and thin (about 1/8 inch). Pro tip: A mandoline works great, just watch those fingers!
1. In a small saucepan, warm the honey and add the lavender. Let it steep for 5 minutes (perfect time to check your Instagram, just saying).
Before we continue – if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily doses of deliciousness! I share everything from quick weeknight dinners to fancy weekend treats.
1. Arrange those apple slices in a pretty spiral pattern, leaving about 2 inches of dough around the edges.
1. Strain the lavender-infused honey over the apples (this is where the magic happens!).
1. Fold the edges up and over, creating that gorgeous rustic look. Remember, imperfections = character!
1. Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with raw sugar and sea salt.
1. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Let it cool for about 15 minutes (I know it’s hard, but trust your girl on this one!). The aroma will drive you crazy, but patience is a virtue, right?
Y’all, when you pull this beauty out of the oven, your kitchen will smell like heaven itself! It’s perfect for those lazy Sunday afternoons or when you want to impress your mother-in-law (we’ve all been there 😉).
