Got in a baking mood today after church today....made mini apple gallettes
Filling:
3 apples (I prefer Jonathan or Cortland, but your fave apple will do)
6 Tbs sugar
3-4 Tbs flour
1 tsp cinnamon
Core peel and dice the apples
Toss with the sugar, flour and cinnamon

Crust:
3 1/2 cups flour
3 Tbs sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups shortening (I use Crisco)
1/2 cup very cold water
Place all ingredients except water into your food processor and pulse until the ingredients start to clump together
Start adding the water a little at a time while continuing to pulse the food processor
When the dough has pulled together, the dough is ready...do not overwork it!
Remove from the food processor onto a floured board
The dough will be very soft!
Form a smooth disk from the dough
Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour

Unwrap the dough and place on a floured board
Roll the dough into a large rectangle (about 14 x 10)
Take a sharp knife and cut dough into 6 equal squares
Place about a cup of the apple filling on each square, then hand-wrap the dough around the apples into a rustic round shape
Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet
Refrigerate the gallettes for about 1/2 hour before baking
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Bake gallettes for 15 min at 425, then turn down the oven to 350 degrees and bake 15-20 more minutes, until crusts are a light golden brown
Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream

Enjoy!!!
