individual apple galette on puff pastry

Let me start by saying - i love apple galette . i did not love (i liked it) apple galette on puff pastry, but in a pinch it is delicious. this was super duper easy. again - forgot about the pictures. now that i'm actually blogging a bit about recipes, i'll be sure to remember to take more.

forgive the wax paper mania - this was one of the final galettes.
a little closer look at the apples.

Individual Apple Galettes
1 sheet of puff pastry
2 large or 3 small apples
1 tsp melted butter
1 tbsp of sugar
2-3 tsp of cinnamon and sugar mixed together
1 tsp of vanilla
1/2 lemon
1 tsp + extra wildflower honey
bench flour

preheat oven to 400 degrees.

take the sheet of defrosted puff pastry on a floured surface and roll it a bit to ensure 4 equally sized, individual galettes. cut into quarters. with a fork, perforate the pastry all over. this is to ensure the pastry doesn't rise too much under the apples. brush pastry with melted butter and top with a sprinkle of plain sugar. cover the wax paper lined jelly roll pan or other lipped pan with lightly damped (is this correct english?) dish towel.

core and then very thinly slice all apples. i put lemon on mine - if you don't want to, enjoy your brown apples. place all lemon covered apples in bowl. add 1 tsp of honey, vanilla and sprinkle with 2 tsp of cinnamon sugar. mix together so that all is coated. take pastry out of refrigerator and begin to lay out apples in a pretty, whatever-you-like pattern. please know the honey will run so again, make sure whatever wax paper lined pan you use has a lip. once all the apples are set, sprinkle the pastries with the last tsp of cinnamon sugar. bake for 40-45 minutes.

when the galettes come out, immediately drizzle with extra wildflower honey. these are delish right out of the oven. enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel and you can't beat it.
