APPLE CREAM CHEESE GALETTE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl stir together 1 1/4 cups flour and 1/4 tsp. salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Using a fork, stir in sour cream and oil until combined. Sprinkle with the water, tossing until moistened. Gather pastry into a ball, kneading gently just until it holds together (mixture may appear crumbly). Wrap in plastic wrap and chill 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl beat cream cheese, 1 Tbsp. of the honey, 1 Tbsp. flour, and 1/8 tsp. salt with a mixer on medium until combined. Stir in 1 of the eggs, just until combined.
• Roll pastry between two pieces of parchment paper into a 14-inch circle; discard top paper. Slide remaining paper with pastry onto a baking sheet. Spread center of pastry with cream cheese mixture, leaving outer 2 inches uncovered. Arrange apples on cream cheese mixture. Fold uncovered pastry over filling, pleating as needed. Lightly beat remaining egg; brush over top and sides of pastry.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden. Cool on a wire rack. If desired, drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp. honey and/or dust with cinnamon.

Steps:

• Make pastry dough by putting the flour and diced butter in a bowl and freezing for 30 minutes. Remove from freezer and place in the work bowl of a food processor.
• Pulse 10 times in 1 second bursts. Mix the wet ingredients together and add to the dry. Pulse 7 to 10 more times, 1 second bursts.
• Pour the dough out onto plastic wrap and form into a disc. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour minimum.
• Roll dough out to a large circle, transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Mix cream cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and vanilla together until very smooth.
• Spread on top of dough leaving 2-3 inches on the edges to form the crust. Toss apples in remaining sugar, cinnamon and corn starch.
• Top with apples in a decorative spiral pattern. Fold galette edges up around apples. Paint edges of dough with egg yolk and water wash and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until golden brown & bubbly. Make glaze, mix glaze ingredients together in a microwave safe bowl and cook for 30 seconds, stir well.
• Cook in 5 second pulses, stirring after each heat cycle, until the glaze turns transparent and its difficult to cook a full 5 seconds with out it overflowing the bowl.
