4 pink lady, gala or golden delicious apples, cored and thinly sliced
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 egg, beaten
Maple whiskey whipped cream:
1 cup cold 35% whipping cream
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon Canadian whiskey
Directions
Preheat oven to 375F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
In bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar with cardamom. Mix well. Sprinkle over pastry and press to adhere. Carefully flip pastry sheets onto prepared pan, sugared side down; pinch together to create one long sheet.
In another bowl, combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle two tablespoons mixture onto pastry.
Decoratively arrange apples onto pastry, leaving a one centimeter edge all around. Brush edges with egg wash. Sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.
Bake until pastry is golden brown, and caramelized on bottom, about 30-40 minutes. Let stand for ten minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve with whiskey whipped cream.
Tip:
For an extra-decadent galette, warm 1/2 cup of Speculoos cookie butter and drizzle and spread evenly onto pastry before layering apples on.
Maple whiskey whipped cream:
In chilled bowl, combine cream, maple syrup and whiskey. Whisk until stiff peaks. Serve on cooled deserts such as apple pies, crumbles and tarts.
