Roasted Cinnamon Apple
and Sweet Potato Galette
This dessert is so
easy, yet it looks like a super-fancy treat. They say you eat with your eyes
first, and this recipe
is a beauty, and the great taste follows. This galette has a light and flaky
crust, a sweet
topping, and a little crunch from the almonds. I like to serve it after a light
meal, as the sweet
potatoes and apples are really filling. It is best to use a mandoline slicer
to slice the sweet
potato and apples. If you don’t have one, slice them as thinly as possible.
1 sweet potato, thinly
sliced
1–2 Gala apples,
peeled and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon coconut oil
4 tablespoons honey
1 sheet puff pastry,
chilled, not frozen
½ cup sliced almonds
1 teaspoon ground
cinnamon, for dusting
whipped cream, for
serving
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment
paper.
In a 9 x 13-inch
baking dish, place sweet potato and
apple slices, and
drizzle with coconut oil and 1 tablespoon
honey. Roast for
approximately 15–18 minutes.
While sweet potato and
apple slices are roasting, roll
out puff pastry, ¼ inch
thick, on a floured surface, into
about a 12 x 20-inch
rectangle. Create an edge on all
sides by rolling up
some pastry. Poke a fork in the center
of the dough a couple
of times. Move the dough to
the parchment-lined
cookie sheet.
Remove roasted sweet
potato and apple slices from
oven. Arrange slices
all over dough, creating any pattern
you like with them,
and add sliced almonds on top.
Keep the dough in one
big piece. Drizzle with the rest
of the honey and bake
on the prepared cookie sheet for
15–18 minutes, until
pastry has puffed up and is light
and golden brown in
color.
Sprinkle with a little
cinnamon, let cool slightly, then cut
into squares and serve
with whipped cream.
Serves 8–10

Ok... I was skeptical to say the least, and I do think that having everything more finely sliced would have made this even better... but that was pretty good!
ReplyDeleteI made this and the kids loved it, but I could not eat it because I have no teeth and it was too cruchy. Thank you for these wonderful meal ideas!
