Did you know I have now been blogging for over three years? It feels like time has gone by so fast. In all of this time, I have never created an apple pie.

That is one of the most popular pie recipes and I feel like I have neglected my duty to share a delicious pie recipe with you. I know gluten free crust can be tricky, but this recipe is very easy to follow!

Well, I didn’t quite make a gluten free apple pie, but I did make a delicious gluten free apple galette for you. While I am making my confessions, I must also admit that I made this gluten free dessert recipe for a special date night with Mr. Fearless Dining. He LOVES apple pie and I have a feeling this galette will help make a special memory for our date night.

Gluten Free Galette vs Pie

I am sure you all know what an apple pie is, but do you know what a galette is? Think of a galette as a sloppy pie. You take your favorite gluten free pie crust recipe and roll it out into a thin circle, just like you were going to make a gluten free apple pie.

The big difference is that you roll the crust out and then put the fruit or other pie filling in the center of the pie crust. Fold the pie crust over the topping so that the center is uncovered by the crust. Bake and eat :-).

The star of this easy apple galette recipe is the honey. I used honey to sweeten this instead of sugar. Honey helps make these sweet moments memorable!

What type of apples are best to use in galette or pie filling?

I prefer to use Granny Smith apples in this recipe, though I must admit the few organic Granny Smith apples in our market were not very fresh. I opted to use a red apple, the Jonagold Apple. I like this apple as well. Tart apples are best for pies and galettes. Don’t use a Red Delicious as they don’t have the tartness to stand out once you introduce the sweetener.

How to Make Gluten Free Galette:

Cut cold butter into the dry ingredients. I love using my pastry blender to do this quickly.

Add raw eggs and the other wet ingredients and mix until a ball of dough forms.

Lay out the dough into the cast iron pan. Fill with your pie filling and fold the sides over the fruit.
