This Thermomix Apple Galette is super easy to make and a delicious dessert during the week or after a Sunday roast.
A galette is a cross between a pie and a tart but is more straightforward. I love how rustic it looks, and there is no need to blind-bake the pastry, which saves a lot of time faffing around.
You can use many different fruits, and I have a fantastic recipe for Thermomix Peach Galette. I love to cook with apples during Autumn when they are in abundance.

Why You'll Love This Recipe
- It is the perfect Autumnal dessert.
- The Thermomix makes light work when making the pastry.
Ingredients
Note: The recipe card below shows the full ingredients and quantities.
- One portion of Thermomix Sweet Shortcrust Pastry
- Apples - I like to use Granny Smiths because they taste tart, but you could use sweeter apples,
- Mixed spice - or cinnamon. (you can use cinnamon if you don't have any mixed spice)
- Brown sugar - use soft brown sugar to caster sugar.
- Unsalted butter - cut up into small cubes.
- Egg - lightly beaten for egg wash.
Step by Step Directions
Note: This is a summary of the instructions. The full ingredients and instructions are shown in the recipe card below.
- Make the Sweet Shortcrust Pastry. My post here provides detailed step-by-step instructions. The pastry must be chilled for at least half an hour before rolling.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples. Place them in a bowl. Sprinkle over the brown sugar and mixed spice (or cinnamon).
- Roll out the pastry and place the apples in a single layer, then fill in any gaps with leftover apple slices. Don't pile them too high, or the bottom of the crust will become soggy. It's good to leave a border of about 3-4cm, then fold over the pastry and pinch it together with your fingers, like in the above photo. Brush the edges with egg wash for a golden brown crust.
- Bake in the oven and dust with icing sugar before serving.
Top Tip
Dot a few cubes of the butter over the top of the apples. The butter melts over the apples and adds a delicious richness.
Serving Suggestions
The Galette is best served warm from the oven with some freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. It serves approximately six; however, I made it yesterday, and my two teenage daughters and I devoured it all within the hour. 🤭
To Make Ahead
The pastry can be made ahead and kept in the fridge for a few hours. You can also make the apple filling ahead, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and store it in the fridge.

Thermomix Apple Galette
A super easy dessert that can be enjoyed during the week or after a Sunday roast.
Ingredients
For the Sweet Shortcrust Pastry
- 200g plain flour
- 100g unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
- 30g icing sugar
- 50g iced cold water
- pinch of salt
For the Apple Filling
- 2 large granny smith apples (or 3 medium sized ones), peeled, cored and cut into thin slices
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice (you can use cinnamon if you don't have any mixed spice)
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 15g chilled butter, cut up into small cubes
- 1 egg, lightly beaten for egg wash
Instructions
To make the Sweet Shortcrust Pastry
- Place the flour, butter, icing sugar, and salt in the Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 sec/speed 6.
- Add the chilled water and knead for 1-1½ mins/dough setting. The pastry should now have come together into clumps; if not, knead for a few seconds more.
- Turn the pastry onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it into a ball. Wrap in cling film or glad wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes while you prepare the apple filling.
- Preheat oven to 190°C/170°C fan forced and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
For the Apple Filling
- Peel and core the apples and cut them into thin slices.
- Place them into a bowl, add the brown sugar and mixed spice and toss well to combine.
To Assemble
- Take the pastry out of the fridge and roll it out onto a lightly floured surface into a circle shape that's roughly 30cm in diameter. It doesn't have to look perfect!
- Transfer the pastry carefully onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Arrange the apple filling in a single layer over the pastry, leaving a 3-4cm border around the edges.
- Gently fold the edges of the pastry dough over the apples, then pinch together with your fingers every 3-4cm. (See photo in recipe post).
- Brush the crust edges with the egg wash, dot the apple filling with butter, and bake in the oven for 40 minutes until the crust is golden.
- Serve warm with freshly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream ice cream.
Notes
Both the pastry and apple filling can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to a day.
