Galettes Galore
Galettes Galore, originally uploaded by caseyell.
Margin Notes is embarking on a galette-making festival. A tart is my favorite dessert and a galette my favorite form of tart: — easy to shape and with a generous ratio of crust to filling.
Last night’s galette featured paper-thin slices of Pink Pearl apples spiked with a small handful of boozy cherries. (next time I make it I’ll use a bigger handful) For the crust I used a recipe from the new The Craft of Baking” by Karen DeMasco — and I was delighted with the result.–crisp, yet tender.
I don’t post recipes from new cookbooks, but the recipe was close to the ones from Flo Braker and Dorie Greenspan I usually use .
And to whoever wrote recently that new-crop apples don’t really need to be peeled for tarts, I send many thanks.
As I polish off the last of this galette, I’m surrounded by a mini-mountain of cookbooks so I can plot galettes both sweet and savory to come.

Pink Pearl…Just the name alone would seem to make a perfect tart!
