When two opposite seasons merge, people benefit greatly from the variety of produce on offer. Over here in Australia, apples are at their best, so are the berries. And we are one month into Autumn! I feel so blessed to be living in a country where we are spoilt for choice and our colourful produce is inspirational.

Remember the raspberry frangipane tarts (my last post) I made recently. I had a bit of leftover frangipane filling. Not enough to make another big dessert or another batch of tarts, but a free form galette was a nice, quick solution. I also had left-over apple pie filling from another recipe I was working on so these galettes seemed like delicious way of killing two birds with one stone. That is the thing I love about galettes. Throw in a mish mash of ripe fruits and nuts and a host of other things and you have a freshly baked treat ready for afternoon tea.
This recipe is more about the idea rather than accurate measurements. I am going to put in the recipes for the individual elements, though I have used leftovers as I mentioned earlier. If you’re short on time, skip the apple pie filling and use thinly sliced apples instead.
