Berry and Apple Galette
Everyone loves a French tart, otherwise known as a galette. They’re super easy to make and the perfect sweet treat.
Ingredients
For the pastry:
- 2 cups almond meal
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ⅓ cup stevia, or monk fruit sweetener
For the filling:
- 1 cup Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- 2 cups blackberries
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup stevia, or monk fruit sweetener
- ½ tsp cinnamon, ground
COOK MODE
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/356°F.
- In a medium-sized bowl mix together the almond meal, butter, and stevia until a dough is formed.
- Roll the pastry out into a rough circle between two sheets of baking paper to about half a centimetre thick.
- Remove the top layer of baking paper and place the bottom layer with the pastry on a baking tray (pastry side up).
- Place the blackberries and sliced apple on top of the tart leaving a 5cm border around the edge.
- Fold the edge of the pastry over the edge of the filling, overlapping the pastry as you go around and pleating it.
- Combine the butter, stevia, and cinnamon in a microwave-safe bowl and blitz in the microwave for a minute until the butter is melted.
- Brush the melted butter mixture over the fruit and pop the tart to bake in the oven for about 35 minutes until the fruit is cooked and the pastry is golden.
Notes
Make the pastry in advance and store it in the fridge overnight to save time.
Leftover pastry? Don’t throw it out! Roll into balls and press down with a fork to make delicious low carb shortbread.
You can buy monk fruit sweetener and stevia from Coles or Woolies.
