    Day 6 of the Apple Cake/Pie Week! We are almost done! The good thing is, I really like apples – otherwise it would be too much already I think :P

    Anyways – It’s all about apples! Again! ;) Today we have delicious Apple Galettes with Caramel Sauce. No regular Caramel Sauce of course – this one is quite special. It’s Whiskey Salted Caramel Sauce. Yummy! I am not a big fan of whiskey, but the combination with the caramel and salt…. on top of the sweet apples with sugar and cinnamon – it’s a explosion of flavors in your mouth – combined with the crunchy crust…. Just great! 

    The Caramel Sauce is a tiny bit tricky to do (I have to admit I burned the first one I did) – but if you keep an eye on your sugar, you should be fine (I did not do that) ;) The galettes are easy to make – so there is no reason not to try them! You will like it – believe me.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar and salt. Add the cold butter in small pieces to the bowl. Mix until the butter is almost incorporated and you have crumbles. Drizzle the ice cold water over the flour mixture and stir it together until most of it has come together. Knead the dough and gather all the loose bits, working as quickly as possible to keep it cold. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

    2. Preheat the oven to 390˚F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Wash the apples, quarter, core and cut into thin slices (you can also peel the applesm but it’s not necessary). In a medium bowl combine sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch and lemon juice. Add the apples and mix until the apples are covered well with the mix.

    3. Devide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a circle of approx. 8 inches (20cm). Place on the parchment paper and devide the apples among the four circles and place in the centre – leave a one inch border. Lift the borders over the apples to form a nice crust. Mix the egg with the water and lightly brush the egg wash on the edges of the dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake the galettes for 30-35 minutes – the crust should be golden brown. Let cool on a cooling rack. Serve warm drizzled with the caramel sauce or ice cream.

    For the Whiskey Salted Caramel Sauce:

    1. In a sauce pan combine sugar and water. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat without mixing. Once the edges start to brown, occasionally swirl the pan. Continue to cook the sugar mixture until it is a deep amber colour. About 5 to 10 minutes.

    2. Remove from the heat and add the heavy cream while whisking constantly. The mixture will bubble a lot, so be careful! Whisk in the whisky and the salt. Transfer to a container with a lid but let cool completely uncovered. Keep covered in the fridge – lasts up to 2 weeks. Heat slightly in the microwave for serving.

    1. In einer großen Schüssel das Mehl mit Zucker und Salz vermischen. Kalte Butter in kleinen Stückchen zugeben und alles so lange verrühren, bis kleine Streusel entstanden sind. Eiskaltes Wasser zugeben und verrühren. Mit den Händen schnell zu einem glatten Teig verrühren, damit er nicht zu warm wird. In Plastikfolie einschlagen und im Kühlschrank mindestens 1 Stunde ruhen lassen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen. Die Äpfel waschen, vierteln, entkernen und in dünne Scheiben schneiden (man kann die Äpfel auch noch schälen, aber das ist nicht wirklich notwendig). In einer mittelgroßen Schüssel Zucker mit Zimt, Stärke und Zitronensaft vermischen. Apfelscheiben zugeben und alles vermischen, bis die Äpfel mit der Zuckermasse überzogen sind.

    3. Den Teig in vier gleich große Stücke teilen. Jedes Teigstück rund ausrollen, mit einem Durchmesser von ca. 20cm (8 inches). Auf das Backpapier legen und die Äpfel in die Mitte der Teigkreise legen. Es sollte ein 2-3cm breiter Rand frei bleiben. Die Ränder über die Äpfel nach Innen einschlagen. Ei mit Wasser verrühren und die Ränder der Galettes damit bestreichen. Mit dem Zucker bestreuen und im Ofen für 30-35 Minuten backen – der Rand sollte goldbraun sein. Auf einem Kuchengitter abkühlen lassen. Mit der Caramel Sauce beträufeln und warm servieren. Schmeckt auch gut mit Vanilleeis.

    Für die Whiskey Salted Caramel Sauce:

    1. Zucker und Wasser in einen Kochtopf geben. Bei mittlerer bis hoher Hitze zum Kochen bringen, ohne zu rühren. Sobald die Ränder anfangen dunkler zu werden, den Topf ab und an schwenken. Den Zucker so lange kochen, bis er eine dunkle Bernsteinfarbe bekommt (ca. 5-10 Minuten).

    2. Den Topf vom Herd nehmen und die Sahne unter ständigem Rühren zugeben. Vorsicht: der Zucker wird stark aufschäumen. Wenn die Sahne untergerührt ist, den Whiskey und das Salz zugeben und verrühren. Die Karamell Sauce in ein Marmeladenglas oder ähnliches einfüllen mit Deckel – zum Abkühlen den Deckel aber noch weg lassen. Verschlossen hält die Karamell Sauce bis zu zwei Wochen im Kühlschrank. Vor dem Servieren (in der Mikrowelle) kurz erwärmen.

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
