Cream Cheese & Fruit Galettes: 2 Ways!

Makes 8

Ingredients

3-4 figs, sliced

2-3 tbs honey

1 pack of pre-made pie crust (such as this)

1 egg

1 tsp milk

Powdered sugar

Fresh mint

For the cream cheese filling:

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1 egg

1/2 cup granulated white sugar

For the apple filling:

About 1/2 a Granny Smith apple, sliced

1/4 cup granulated white sugar

1/2 tb cornstarch

1 tb lemon juice

1/2 tb cinnamon

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. For the cream cheese filling, whisk all the ingredients into a bowl until smooth, and set aside.

3. For the apple filling, mix all the ingredients into a bowl and set aside.

4. Cut the pie crust using a small bowl as a “cookie cutter”. Use a knife to cut around the bowl. You should get about 3-4 round shapes.

5. Lay the cut-out pie crust circles on the baking tray. Scoop about 1-1/2 tbs of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each circle. Place the apples into some of the pie crust circles, and place figs and a drizzle of honey into the others.

6. Gently “close” the sides of the pie crust by folding them in one direction. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg and 1 tsp of milk, and brush the sides of the galettes. Bake for about 20-30 minutes, or until browned.

7. Let the galettes cool for about 15 minutes. Sift some powdered sugar on top, and garnish with mint. Enjoy!
