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.
Servings: 4 mini galettes
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 1 ¼ cups flour
- 1 ½ tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold cubed
- 4 tablespoon 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 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- 1 teaspoon 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.
Notes
- Use your favorite apples. Whether you prefer granny smith, golden delicious, a classic Macintosh, or anything in between, use your favorite type of apples for a unique flavor!
- Switch up the cheese. You'll still want to use brie as your base, but try swapping the mozzarella with a sharp cheddar or a smoky shredded gouda for different flavor profiles.
- Utilize mise en place! Make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and ready before you begin making this recipe - it will help save you time and keep you organized.
- Make it a large. You can make these galettes as big or small as you want - I like to divide the dough into quarters for four mini galettes, but you can make one large galette to slice and serve, too!
