How To Reheat & Store Easy Apple Galette With Puff Pastry
The best way to store leftover apple galette is in an airtight container left out on the kitchen counter. When stored on the counter, the apple galette is good for up to 3 days.
How Long Will Easy Apple Galette Last In the Fridge?
I don't suggest putting your apple galette in the refrigerator. Storing it in the refrigerator will cause the galette to become soggy mushy, and will not preserve the galette any longer than keeping it on the counter.
Can I Freeze Apple Galette With Puff Pastry
Yes, you can freeze your precooked apple galette. Place galette on a baking sheet in the freezer for an hour. Once frozen, wrap the apple galette in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
How To Reheat Easy Apple Galette
The apple galette shouldn't need to be reheated after cooking if left out on the counter, but if you do want to warm up a piece to enjoy with ice cream, I suggest popping it in the microwave for about a minute or until heated to your preference.
Easy Apple Galette With Puff Pastry FAQs
Can I make an apple galette with puff pastry ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare a puff pastry apple galette in advance and freeze it for later use. However, I do not recommend attempting to freeze a galette that has already been cooked.
Will other types of apples work in this recipe besides gala?
Yes, of course! You may use whatever type of apple you like. If you enjoy a more tart dessert, try this recipe with granny smith apples. The granny smith apples' tartness and the glaze's sweetness create a fantastic sweet and sour taste!
Do I put just one layer of apples on the galette?
No. The more apples you use, the better your galette will be! I suggest using 3 to 4 layers of apples on your galette. As the apples cook, they will shrink and soften, causing them to spread out the galette.
Am I supposed to warm or heat the puff pastry before using it?
No. The puff pastry should not be warmed or heated before being used. Heating the dough will cause it to cook ahead of time, resulting in an unevenly cooked crust in the long run. The puff pastry should always be cold or cool, never warm to the touch. Also, frozen or extremely cold pastry sheets will result in them breaking and falling apart when handled.
How will I know when my apple galette with puff pastry is done cooking?
When your galette is done cooking, the crust will be a deep golden brown, and the filling will be bubbling and slightly browned on top. By the time your apple galette is done, your house will smell like heaven!
