My friends, don’t say cruel things about others! If you do, or if you condemn others, you are condemning God’s Law. And if you condemn the Law, you put yourself above the Law and refuse to obey either it 12 or God who gave it. God is our judge, and he can save or destroy us. What right do you have to condemn anyone? - James 4:11-12

Apple Almond Autumn Galette


En Español

What do you think about this extraordinary dessert? Did you know a galette is a freeform tart that can be prepared both sweet or savory, and that it is a specialty of Brittany, France? Well I did not, lol, all this time I thought it was Italian, shame on me! With its place of origin cleared up in my mind, I decided to prepared this delightful apple almond autumn galette on Friday.


It all started with a few apples placed in a fruit bowl in our dinning table. They needed to be converted into something spectacular to surprise my daughters. With only a few apples and my pâte brisée recipe I got to put a smile on the faces of my loved ones when they got home! After they tasted it I got "my mom is the best cook ever" and "my wife is the best" and lots of hugs and kisses!

It is very easy to prepare so hopefully this will inspire you to get in your kitchen and prepare this delicacy! I would love to hear about what your darlings will say when the taste it.
