Author Notes: I write a food blog, A Local Choice, where I travel to a destination within 100 miles of Columbus, Ohio, focus on an ingredient they are growing or producing, and write a recipe based off that ingredient. A recent trip brought me to a u-pick apple farm. I knew I wanted to create something for fall that combined the flavors of apple with pumpkin. I have always loved the rustic nature of a galette or free-formed tart and thought this would be a perfect dessert for Thanksgiving or just because. It was delicious warm from the oven and also cold straight out of the refrigerator! —A Local Choice
Food52 Review: WHO: A Local Choice is a new Food52-er with a local food blog and a mission.
WHAT: An only slightly-sweet galette we want to make for dessert and eat for breakfast the next day.
HOW: Slice some apples, make a spice mixture, and do the galette thing.
WHY WE LOVE IT: We love this dessert for how it combines two of Thanksgiving classic flavors while keeping everything in sync, and not at all cloying. Taste it, and you’ll think pumpkin and apple were born to be together, too. —The Editors
