Individual Apple Galette with Clementine Cream #CookChilean

Do you remember two weeks ago when I asked for help coming up with recipe ideas to use for some great Chilean ingredients sent to me by Foods From Chile

I received some very creative ideas and let me tell you, the decision was not easy to make.   Do I use the smoked salmon or trout, the fruit or get really creative with the Chilean Mussels? Ultimately, my love for fruit, dessert and generally all things sweet pulled me in the direction of the idea from Donna at Cookistry

I loved her suggestion of making a tart out of the apple and topping it with clementine whipped cream.  Since we only had one apple in our package, I turned Donna’s idea into an individual dessert – a simple, but rustic individual apple galette with clementine cream.   

This dessert featuring a beautiful crisp Chilean apple and bright citrus scent from the clementines is the perfect end to any meal.

    For the pastry dough:
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons, cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar and salt. Using a pastry blender, two knives or your hands add the butter – 1 tablespoon at a time and blend until the mixture looks like pebbles.
  2. Dribble in the water until the dough just comes together, make sure there are no dry patches and it easily forms into a ball. You may not need all the water.

  5. Place on a lightly floured piece of plastic wrap, pat into a disk, wrap up with the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Dough can be made up to a day in advance.

  7. Heat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  8. Halve and core the apple, slice 1/4 inch thick and place in a small bowl. Toss with 1/2 tablespoon sugar and lemon juice.
  9. Spread the fig chutney on the dough, leaving a 1 1/2 - 2 inch border.
  10. Lay the apple slices on top of the fig chutney and fold the dough up over the side.
  11. Brush the top with the melted butter. In a small bowl mix the lemon zest and turbinado sugar. Sprinkle over the top.
  12. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  13. For the clementine cream:
  14. In your stand mixer with the whisk attachment, add the heavy whipping cream, sugar and clementine zest.
  15. Whip on medium high until it reaches stiff peaks.
  16. Serve on top of the galette.
