A Rustic Cardamom Apple Galette Topped with Maple Mascarpone
Have you ever set up a 6 person tent … in your house?
Well, I hadn’t, until this weekend! We won this tent in a Christmas Party Gift Exchange and haven’t used it yet. Growing up, my family use to go camping every year with all of my dads cop buddies.
Since Mike and I have moved down to Texas we haven’t gone camping once! Part of that is because of me … well most of that is probably me. When they say everything is bigger in Texas … they mean EVERYTHING is BIGGER in Texas. The bugs (ughh..) and snakes!
Up north, the only bugs we had to deal with were mosquitos. Down here they have everything .. they are all huge and some fly! I just can’t handle sleeping and then all of a sudden having something crawl up my leg. I can’t do it, I won’t do it. So we haven’t done it.
But .. having a little boy changes things. I need to put on my big girl panties, suck it up, bring a crap load of bug and snake killer stuff and go camping. But to start things out … and because it is dreadfully hot outside we set up the tent inside the house this past weekend so Mike and Cason could have a little camp out.
When Mike got home from work he took his tape measure then him and Cason went all over the house measuring each room so they could set the tent up. The ONLY room that worked was the living room and even then Mike since had to move all the furniture up against the walls so this huge 6 person tent could fit.
It was great! Cason absolutely loved it! He was running all over the house trying to get the “stuff” he needed in the tent for his campout. He had ten cars, a batman utility belt, four pairs of shoes, all his stuffed animals, a sweatshirt, four blankets, his nap mat, his pillow, a comforter, and his ipad… oh and his backpack
Needless to say, I see many more inside campout nights in our future!
Maybe even outside campout nights since the fall is so close you can almost taste it which means cooler weather is just around the corner! Woohoo! Yippee… dancing for joy!
Speaking of fall. I told you on Monday that JHE is turning into all things Fall. Well I wasn’t kidding. We’re kicking everything off with this Rustic Cardamom Apple Galette topped with a Cinnamon Maple Mascarpone Cheese.
If you’ve never had a galette before you need to. As my husband said, “it’s like pie but in pizza form, it’s awesome!”
Instead of having to worry about making sure the pie crust goes over the edges of the pie pan perfectly and all that silliness. Just make a pizza out of the dough, put the filling in, fold the edges over, call it a rustic galette and then fall in love! This process is WAY easier than pie and honestly, I love the look of it. It’s so fancy in it’s own kinda way.
But the flavor, oh the flavor! Make sure to eat it warm so that the Maple Mascarpone melts all over the galette. I guarantee you’ll be in heaven! Did I mention that his pie is also GLUTEN FREE! What?!? Yup, that’s right. Tastes like the dream, is way easy to make, and has gluten free pie crust!
Bon Appetit my friends!

- In a large bowl, add sliced apples, ground cinnamon, cardamom, and honey. Using a spoon mix all the ingredients.
- Line the apples up in the center of the pie crust disc, pour the juices leaving 1 1/2″ on the edges.
- Fold the edges over the top of the apple filling.
- Lightly brush the pie crust edges with egg wash.
- Bake galette for 30-40 minutes, or until edges are browned and apples are tender. Remove and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
- In the meantime, in a small bowl add mascarpone cheese, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon. Mix until combined.
- Top each slice of apple galette with a dollop of mascarpone cheese mixture.
