Caramel Apple Galette
Need a scrumptious dessert that consists of basic pantry ingredients? This Apple Galette ticks all the boxes with it's caramel saucy goodness and fuss-free pastry! The only non-essential ingredient I paired along with my galette is vanilla pod ice-cream. No Ice-cream? No problem. Enjoy with thick yoghurt (or sour cream), whipped cream or, quite simply, enjoy as is!
