1. Can I use frozen cranberries in this Cranberry Apple Galette?

Yes, you can use frozen cranberries in place of fresh ones. Just make sure to thaw them and drain any excess liquid before using them in the filling to avoid a soggy galette. This ensures the right texture and prevents the crust from becoming too wet during baking.

2. Can I make the dough ahead of time for the Cranberry Apple Galette?

Absolutely! The dough can be prepared and refrigerated up to 3 days in advance. You can also freeze it for up to one month. Just make sure to let the dough come to room temperature or slightly chill before rolling it out for the galette.

3. How can I prevent the crust from getting too brown around the edges?

If the edges of your galette start to brown too quickly during baking, cover them with foil for the last 10-15 minutes. This will prevent the crust from burning while allowing the rest of the galette to finish baking evenly.

Instructions

Combine the flour and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Form into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with half of the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a tablespoon of flour. Set aside to meld the flavors.
In a separate bowl, toss the cranberries with the remaining sugar and flour to absorb excess liquid during baking.
Spread the apple mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Top with the cranberries.
Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating as you go. Brush the exposed dough with the beaten egg yolk for a golden finish. Optionally, sprinkle sugar on the crust.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. If edges brown too quickly, cover with foil.
Warm the apricot jam with a splash of water and brush over the crust for a glossy finish.
Let the galette cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes for a flaky texture.
For a dairy-free version, replace butter with coconut oil or plant-based butter.
If the filling is too runny, add a bit of cornstarch to thicken it.
Leftovers can be stored at room temperature for up to two days or in the fridge for up to five days.
To reheat, place the galette in a warm oven for about 10 minutes.
