There is a wonderful blog event going on called A Fruit A Month, hosted by Maheshwari of the blog Beyond the Usual. This month's theme is "Strawberries" and how perfect it is for this love-lorn month of February! I decided to make an Apple-Strawberry Galette, and this is my entry for the AFAM event. This, by the way is also one of the easiest desserts to make!You will need:
1 package of Thawed Puff pastry dough
2 Golden Delicious apples- or any apple variety- cored and chopped roughly
1 cup of Fresh Strawberries-chopped
1 Tbsp-Butter- Melted
1/3 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1 tsp Vanilla
2 tbsp- Orange Juice
Some Milk to brush on the pastry.
Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to package directions. In a bowl, combine the apples, strawberries, butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, Vanilla and the orange juice. Preheat oven to 375F.
Unroll the pastry sheet on a baking pan and line it with the parchment paper that it came with. Spoon the fruit mixture in the center of the sheet leaving some space for the pastry to be rolled up. Fold the pastry, partially covering it and pinch the ends so that it stays together. Brush the pastry with some milk for a nice glaze. You can use an egg if you want, but since I can't stand the smell of the eggs, I use milk.
Place the galette in the oven to bake for around 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Let it cool for a bit before serving. Serve with some whipped cream and enjoy!

Another Idea I have had is to host an event that will be eligible to win a Prize from me. I haven't come up with the event theme yet. I need your suggestions on this......I am thinking, "Hubbies in the Kitchen", "Another Kids in the Kitchen", "Desserts Galore" etc........the BEST entry, judged by me, my parents, and hubby will win a prize...so get your thinking caps on and let me know of a suggestion, this way we can make Food Blogging even more fun for everyone.
Thanks for all your comments on the Gujarati Series I have received....Glad you like it!

hi trupti
ReplyDeletenice idea..u know one thing when u announced little chef's in the kitchen theme i want to give u an idea of introducing hubby's in the kitchen..ok ..any way u are here..good thinking..it will be fun because for sometime we can take rest from the kitchen work right..:-)))))
hubbies will be excited for this more than kids..what do u say?
go on girl we will give our hands too...:-)0
the galette..is looking delicious with all the fruit pieces..nice entry..
Trupti,
ReplyDeleteLoved the Apple-Strawberry Galette recipe. Seems to be very easy to make too.
About the event you wanna host Trupti, 'Kids in the kitchen' would be a little tricky for people like me who have no kids yet. 'Hubbies in the kitchen' would be fantastic. Dessets / soups / appetizers or something like easy microwavable dishes etc can also be good for this event.
Hugs and good luck with hosting Trupti.
Another event ..way to go..i liked the idea.you can expect my entry..
ReplyDeleteGalette looks delcious and very easy to mak.Will give it a try soon.Thanks for the entry.

Beautiful picture in the Art of India section ...I was just staring at it for a minute and the santoor in the background wow!!! it made me feel as if i was in an elegant indian gallery or something...Now visiting your blog is some of therapy for me visual and spiritual :) (not kidding).
ReplyDeleteGalette is looking super. Like other fellow bloggers i will also suggest cooking with hubby would be a good one. BTW my real name is Sruthi. :)
Galette looks yummy and you made it simple to make it too.
ReplyDeleteI could participate in the 'kids...' event with your encouragement to non-food-bloggers to participate in it by sending their entry to you by mail, but, hubby, well he can only make bhel puri out of the ready-made packet !! So, think. will have to skip the 'hubby in the kitchen' :-)
But, the prize thing sounds interesting. Hmmm........
What should I be awed about!!!!!
ReplyDeletethe new look!!!! or your dessert!!!! or ur enthusiasm about the events!!! ???? Heck, all of it!!! ;)

Hi Trupti,
ReplyDeletemany many thanks to you for extending the deadline for little chefs event.I was thinking i lost out on it..will post a recipe with my little one helping me for sure,now that she is more interested in cooking an stirring the pot than eating!Thanks again,(Hugs):)about the hubbies event,I am not so sure I can participate coz mu hubby is ,diplomaticall speaking,the "non-interfering" kind meaning he won;t even step into the kitchen when I am cooking!:)
Oops!forgot to post about the Galette!looks deliciosu Trupti.You are as creative as can be when it comes to cooking with mundane ingredients..keep up the good work dear.I am sure your kids will be the happiest to have you as their mom!of course,so will be your hubby K!whaddayasay?

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog. I've recently found out about your blog. You've thought of a very interesting name.
I was too shy to use my address before...
:-)
This looks so yummy! I love strawberries, especially in winter...
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the "Hubbies in the Kitchen" idea. Maybe it will get my hubby into it. Though that would be a long shot :-)
Hi Trupti -- the galette sounds delicious! Very pretty photo too :)
