Mini Brie and Apple Galettes
These mini brie and apple galettes are a delicious sweet and savory treat to make this winter! Sweet sliced apples sit atop gooey, melted brie and a buttery, flaky crust, and a balsamic glaze gives these galettes a bright, tart finish.
Inspired by a delicious pizza I tried one autumn afternoon, these mini brie and apple galettes are the best combination of sweet and savory. The flavors are super simple, but complement each other perfectly: gooey, melty brie cheese, light and buttery pie crust, sweet apples, and a tangy balsamic glaze to round it all out. These mini galettes make the perfect individual snack, or you can make one large galette and slice it up to share, too!

Mini Brie and Apple Galettes
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 1 ¼ cups flour
- 1 ½ tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold cubed
- 4 tbsp ice cold water
- 1 egg for egg wash
For the toppings:
- 2 apples thinly sliced
- 8 oz brie sliced
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 1 tsp chopped parsley or flakes
Instructions
For the dough:
- Add the flour, sugar, and salt to a food processor. Add the butter a few cubes at a time, pulsing until combined after each handful.
- When the butter is fully combined, add in your water 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough forms into a rough ball.
- Remove the dough from the food processor and move to a floured surface. Knead the dough slightly and form it into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap or a sealed container and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
For assembly:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll out each portion of dough on a floured surface until they form thin circles, then move them to the sheet pan.
- Lay the brie slices down evenly between the four crusts in one flat layer, leaving a few inches around the border empty to fold over.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly over each layer of brie, then add your apple slices on top. Finish with a light sprinkling of brown sugar.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the toppings to form a crust, creasing the dough every few inches. Whisk the egg with a few tablespoons of water, then brush the egg wash over the crust evenly.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until crust is baked through and edges are golden brown.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with parsley before slicing and serving.
