How To Make Apple Galette In Air Fryer
Here are the simple steps for making a homemade Apple Galette in air fryer:
In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, salt, and butter and process for a few seconds. Slowly add in ice water, tablespoon by tablespoon, pulsing the mixture until it begins to come together (with small pieces of butter still showing).
Take pastry mixture out of food processor and use hands to form into a disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerator until chilled.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by tossing apple slices with brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
Place dough on a floured counter. Roll out dough into a large circle. Arrange apple slices on top of the dough, leaving space to fold in the edges. Fold in edges and brush pastry and apples with melted butter, then drizzle apples with honey.
Put the pastry into a lined air fryer basket for 12 minutes at 330˚C (165˚C) or until golden brown.
Pro Tips For Air Fryer Apple Galette
- Keep the dough cold: To achieve a flaky and tender crust, make sure your dough remains cold throughout the process. Chill the dough in the refrigerator before rolling it out, and work quickly to assemble the galette.
- Use parchment paper: Placing the galette on parchment paper before transferring it to the air fryer basket makes it easier to handle and prevents sticking. Plus, it makes cleanup a breeze!
- Brush with egg wash: For a beautiful golden-brown finish, brush the edges of the galette with an egg wash (a beaten egg mixed with a little water or milk) before baking. This adds shine and helps seal the edges of the crust.
- Serve with ice cream: Take your air fryer apple galette to the next level by serving it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The contrast of warm, flaky pastry and cold, creamy ice cream is irresistible!
Air Fryer Apple Galette Recipe Faqs
Can I use store-bought pie dough for this recipe? Yes, store-bought pie dough can be used as a time-saving option. Just make sure to thaw it according to the package instructions before rolling it out and assembling the galette.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the galette ahead of time and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake. Alternatively, you can freeze the assembled galette and bake it straight from the freezer, although you may need to add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Can I use other types of fruit besides apples? Absolutely! While apples are traditional for galettes, you can experiment with other fruits such as pears, peaches, berries, or a combination of your favorites. Just adjust the sugar and spices accordingly to complement the chosen fruit.
How do I prevent the bottom of the galette from getting soggy? To prevent the bottom of the galette from becoming soggy, you can sprinkle a thin layer of almond flour or breadcrumbs over the dough before adding the fruit filling. This helps absorb excess moisture during baking and ensures a crisp crust.
Can I use a different sweetener instead of sugar? Yes, you can substitute the sugar with alternative sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar if you prefer. Just be mindful that different sweeteners may affect the flavor and texture of the galette slightly, so adjust to taste as needed.
Can I reheat leftovers? Yes, you can reheat leftover slices of the galette in the air fryer for a few minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can enjoy them at room temperature or lightly toasted in a toaster oven for a crispy crust.
