I love galettes! Pies have always seemed like too much work; unless you are making a “rustic” pie, you need to be so perfect. Instead, I like to make galettes which are rustic and natural looking all on their own.

Most galettes I have tried are sweet. This is probably because a galette is the perfect way to quickly make a sweet, hot dessert. But you can also incorporate pot-pie flavors or something more out-of-the-box.

Since we are coming to the heart of apple season, it’s time to start thinking about how to use apples in more ways than a pie. This galette is both unique and delicious.

Start with your dough. You can make your pie dough as soon as an hour before you plan to bake your galette. Instead of buying pie dough at the store, I like to use my Kitchenaid stand mixer.

Mix it up until it’s just wet, then throw it in the fridge to chill. While the dough is chilling, I usually cook up some chicken breasts and sauté the veggies for the galette.

You can also use leftover chicken for this recipe – you know how much I love recipes that use up your leftovers!

When your dough is ready, flour a clean surface and your rolling pin and roll the dough out flat. Don’t worry about it being perfectly round or if it has jagged edges – that’s part of the appeal of a galette.

Pile your apple and chicken filling in the center and top it with the cheddar cheese chunks and a few apple slices. Then fold up the sides, brush the dough with a beaten egg, and throw the galette in the oven.

When your apple chicken cheddar galette comes out of the oven, you will have a savory apple dish that is perfect for lunch or dinner.

Grab a glass of white wine – sauvignon blanc is my favorite – and you’re all set!
