Galette with apples, dried apricots, and orange jam is a cozy and aromatic treat that combines crispy dough with juicy fruit filling. Originating from French cuisine, galette has also become popular in British cooking due to its simplicity and versatility. In this recipe, apples add a slight tartness, dried apricots provide sweetness and a tender texture, while orange jam adds a subtle citrus freshness. The buttery dough is soft and crumbly, perfectly complementing the fruit flavors. Galette can be served warm alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of fragrant tea. It is ideal for family tea times or cozy evenings, filling the home with the aromas of baked fruits and fresh pastries.
