WHAT TO DO WITH LEFTOVER PIE DOUGH AND FILLING- RUSTIC APPLE PIE TART or GALLETE

So this is what I like to do with leftover Pie Dough and Filling…

make a RUSTIC APPLE PIE TART or  what is actually known as a GALLETE

or even make a Crostata (same only leaving most of the middle apple filling exposed)

so I just finished making some  of my Homemade Country Apple Pies

(you can find the recipe on this website)

I also had a little bit of filling left and enough pie dough for one crust…

well I COULD have made one more pie crust  but I just didn’t feel like doing that..

so I got one of my smallest most shallow pie plates, almost a tart plate.. could be used for either… and I rolled out my pie dough and let it hang as far over edge as I could stretch it without breaking it.. don’t worry about uneven edges.. and don’t worry if you don’t get it all covered.. a hole in the middle is just fine..

then I filled in the dough with my  thick leftover apple filling and began to pull the edges inward overlapping as I went. (you don’t have to have the edges meet if you don’t have enough dough.. bring it to where you can, it will be fine, like I said no need to worry about leaving a hole un covered.. )

took my leftover eggwash I had from my previous pies and slathered it all over the pie crust

finishing with shaking sugar and cinnamon mixture all over top.

plop in oven and bake  at 400 degrees until crust is golden and crisp but not overdone.

let sit and cool so the apple filling thickens back up..

cut and enjoy.
