This Apple Galette with Oatmeal Crust is actually a recipe from last fall, that I never got around to posting. I remember being swamped with assignments at the time, so this went by the wayside & once I had time to edit and post it was not really the season for it anymore. As some of the fall seasonal produce will become abundant soon, now seemed a fine time to publish this apple galette.
I’ve featured the Granny Smith apple in this easy galette recipe. It’s the most common one for me to have on-hand, because it is a favorite snacking apple of both Lil’ Foodie & I. Luckily, it is quite versatile and handles cooking nicely too.
