Dilettante Girl: Apple cheddar galette

I bought a caramel apple from the store yesterday, while I like apples, I like caramel more. So after eating, I found myself with a leftover granny smith... so I decided pie sounded good, but I have not been feeling well for the past few days, so as I rolled out the crust I made earlier today (leftover from the pie I made at work today), I found that I didn't have the desire to actually do the work of constructing a pie crust. Easy, lazy-day answer? A galette! Defined as a 'casual form of pie where the crust is folded over the contents, usually fruits, with the center left open. It is baked on a flat baking sheet instead of in a pie plate.' I like to call it lazy pie. Or just simple, awesome food. I love apples and cheese so I like to include it in my pie. (Apple pie with cheddar cheese crust = amazing!). It also prevents the crust from getting soggy on the bottom. So here it is!

Apple Cheddar Galette

One pie crust

Shredded cheddar cheese, (approx. 1/2 C)

One - two apples, sliced and diced

(I used one granny smith, and one golden delicious)

1/4 C brown sugar

Juice and zest from a one half of a lime or lemon

one tablespoon of butter

two teaspoons of cornstarch

Roll out the pie dough in a circular fashion. Top with the cheese.

Move on to the apples, I peeled and diced them, I like to slice them uniformly so that they bake at the same rate. Put them in a bowl with the citrus and brown sugar. Allow them to macerate for several minutes, until you have a nice juice.

Drain the juice into a sauce pan, putting the apples on top of the cheese-y pie crust.

Boil the juice until it is a caramel, add the butter and melt it into the caramel.
