Make this galette for an afternoon treat or delicious and easy dessert. This pear galette is both vegan, gluten, sugar., oil free and lower in fat.
Galettes have become on of my favorite things to bake last 2-3 years. I love to make them since they’re both easy and quick to make, you can make them both sweet or savory and there are endless filling ideas! For me a galette is a quick and easy version of a pie, but still as delicious. I really love how simple and rustic they are but still taste amazing and delicious. This galette is made with less fat since I replaced most parts of the butter with apple sauce. But don’t fear, the crust is just as crunchy as a regular one and you won’t even notice the difference (except that it’s less greasy). It is filled with thinly sliced pears that are combined with ground cardamom seeds, which really give this galette both a sweet, tender and warming feeling. This galette is both vegan, gluten, sugar free and lower in fat.
A few tips:
- When making the apple sauce for the crust make sure to use sweeter apples since they provide sweetness to the crust.
- You will need to kneed the dough for some time, but if it really doesn’t come together after 5-10 minutes then add about one more table spoon of apple sauce.
- This recipe is for a vegan galette, but if not vegan you can swap the vegan butter for regular butter.
- I brushed the galette with almond milk, but you can use any milk you prefer or have at home.
- If not vegan you can brush the galette with egg if preferred.
- Keep an eye on the galette in the oven. It can easily go from quite pail to browned in just a few minutes.
- Serve warm or cold, according to preferences.
