These charming little galettes are the perfect fall-inspired dessert—flaky gluten-free crusts folded around tender spiced apple slices. With no dairy, soy, or gluten, they're as inclusive as they are delicious. A beautiful blend of cinnamon, maple, and fruit baked into a handheld treat. Ideal for serving warm with coconut whipped cream!

¼ tsp sea salt
1 tbsp coconut sugar (optional)
½ cup solid coconut oil or vegan butter (cold)
4–6 tbsp ice water

For the Apple Filling

3 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced (use tart like Granny Smith or sweet like Honeycrisp)

1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg (optional)
1 tsp lemon juice

Prepration for:Mini Rustic Apple Galettes (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free)

Step 1/4

Make the Dough

In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in cold coconut oil or vegan butter using a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until a dough forms. Divide into 4 equal balls, flatten slightly, wrap in parchment or plastic, and chill for 20 minutes.

Step 2/4

Make the Apple Filling

In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with arrowroot starch, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Let sit while rolling the dough.

Step 3/4

Assemble the Galettes

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out each chilled dough ball between parchment into a 6-inch circle. Spoon apple filling into the center of each circle, leaving about 1 inch around the edges. Gently fold the edges over the filling, pleating as you go. Brush edges with plant milk and sprinkle with coconut sugar (optional).

Step 4/4

Bake

Place galettes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 28–32 minutes or until crust is golden brown and apples are soft.

Chef's Tips & Notes

Tips: For extra shine, lightly glaze with warm apricot jam after baking. Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the apple mix for crunch.
