A rustic apple galette captures all the cozy flavors of apple pie without the fuss of a double crust. Thinly sliced apples are layered on buttery pastry, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, and baked until golden brown. The free-form shape gives it a charming, homemade feel while still looking elegant enough for entertaining. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate fall dessert.

Ingredients (for 6 servings):

• 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 3 apples, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp butter, cubed
• 1 egg, beaten (for brushing)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Roll out the pie crust on a baking sheet.
3. Arrange the apples in the center, leaving a 2-inch border.
4. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, and then dot with butter.
5. Fold the crust edges over the apples, brush with egg, and bake for 35–40 min.
