Apple, Cranberry, and Cherry Galette Recipe
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the work surface
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (also known as confectioners sugar)
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold salted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 egg, cold
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
- 1/2 ounce Cognac
- 8 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon packed finely grated orange zest (from about 1 medium orange)
- 2 large apples, cored and halved
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- Combine the flour and powdered sugar in a food processor and pulse for 1 to 2 seconds.
- Add the butter and pulse a few times until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Add the egg and pulse once or twice until just combined.
- Set aside.
- Meanwhile, soak the cherries in the cognac.
- Set aside to infuse.
- Place the cranberries, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the cranberries are starting to fall apart and the liquid has become thick and syrupy, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the zest.
- Set aside to cool.
- Dump the dough from the food processor onto a floured surface and gather it into a ball.
- Wrap the ball in plastic wrap, press it down into a disk, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Unwrap the chilled dough and place it on a well-floured surface.
- Using a rolling pin, roll the disk from the center outward until it forms a circle of at least 12 inches.
- (Perfect roundness is not required or even desired.)
- Spread the cooled cranberry sauce thinly over the surface of the galette, leaving a 1- to 2-inch rim.
- Slice the apples, but keep the halves together.
- Place them on top of the tart, skin-side up, and nudge them to fan them out slightly.
- Fold the edges of the pastry over the edges of the filling to create a rim.
- Start with a corner of the pastry, then do a side, then a corner, and so on, each overlapping the corner of the previous fold.
- You should end up with a shape a bit like an uneven stop sign.
- The tart should stay open in the middle.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute, until bubbly.
- Brush the exposed rim of the tart with a bit of the sugar-butter.
- Pour the rest over the apples.
- Sprinkle the infused cherries and pecans over the top.
- Bake until golden brown and crispy.
