This Apple Cinnamon Cream Cheese Galette combines some of my favorite flavors.

I love the ease of making galettes and recently shared my Cherry Cream Cheese Galette, which is perfect for those summer cherries.

You can see you want to leave at least a one-inch space around the outside. Then you fold up those edges over the top of the filling. This creates that gorgeous rustic look.

I let it cool for a while so that the cream cheese firms up. It’s great cold or served at room temperature.
