How to Make a Gluten-Free Apple Galette

This apple galette is essentially the lazy version of an apple pie, but there's no shame in making one instead. All the flavors and textures of a pie are here without all the fuss. 

The secret to this gluten-free crust is the ground psyllium husk, it's truly the secret to gluten-free doughs. You can find it at almost any large grocery store, likely in the supplement aisle.

Fall is the perfect season to make this galette as apples are in season, stock up and save by eating foods seasonally.

Begin to fold up the edges of the galette over top of the filling, crimping to keep them together. Optionally, sprinkle the edges with extra coconut sugar and cinnamon.
