Delicately sweet, warm cinnamon and apples wrapped up in a savory crust with flakes of sea salt. Sometimes you just need a little something to warm the heart. This 10-ingredient vegan and gluten-free apple galette is easy to prepare and will permeate your house with the scent of fall.

The apple galette is sweetened with just a forth of a cup of maple syrup, and goes perfectly with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream slightly melted on top. If you have any leftovers, enjoy it by itself for breakfast or an afternoon treat.

The buckwheat flour adds a roasted note that works well the cinnamon, apples and maple syrup sauce. For the remaining flour, I like King Arthur’s gluten-free all-purpose blend because of the mix of flours, it measures cup-for-cup to standard flour and has no xanthum gum. You could use any flour of choice here, and certainly regular flour would work if you don’t have a gluten allergy.

When rolling out the dough, flour your surfaces as well as the dough to help with any sticking. Otherwise it’s very easy to work with.

If apples aren’t your thing, you could sub pears and perhaps add a nice crunch with some roasted walnuts or pecans. Please do share your alterations and experience with this recipe below in the comments section. Happy baking!

Bon appetit!

Notes

• I like King Arthur’s gluten-free all-purpose flour blend because I like the blend of flours, it measures cup for cup to standard flour and has no xanthum gum. You could use any flour of choice here.

• I have used olive oil in a pinch and it also works!

• The recipe is not overly sweet—it was meant to be served a la mode or enjoyed guilt-free for breakfast or an afternoon treat. Feel free to add more sweetener to the apple galette.
