Galettes are one of my go to favorites

This one is perfect for September and thoughts of Fall

Yummmmmy caramelized onions …

A tasty base for freshly sliced apples and pears

You can make a fancy arrangement or just toss them on

I did a combo of slices and chopped apples

Now comes the good part, walnuts and gorgonzola!

If you’re not bleu cheese lover, sub sharp cheddar

Now fold in the edges

Brush the dough with an egg wash

so it bakes up pretty and golden

Serve as an appetizer, side dish or main dish

You can add cooked sausage, bacon, or ham

to make it even heartier if desired

Perfect for these early Fall days

It’s loaded with flavor!

Cut 1 T butter into tiny pieces and dot fruit mixture.
Fold up edges by starting with a 3 inch edge, turning and pleating dough as you go around, forming the edge of the galette.
