is galette dough the same as pie dough? – Pie dough is often a bit more structured and can be made slightly thicker to hold up to pie fillings, which might be heavier. – Galette dough is usually a bit more rustic and can be more forgiving, often rolled out thinner and with a less uniform shape. It might also include a bit of sugar if you're making a sweet galette, while pie dough is typically neutral unless you're making a dessert pie.
This Sourdough Discard Apple Galette is the perfect recipe to use up sourdough starter discard. A very slight tang in a super flaky crust that is bursting with apples. The perfect no-fuss dessert for the holidays!

What’s great about this recipe is that after it has rested in the fridge, you just have to roll out your big circle of dough and and add your filling. My circle is never perfect and that is totally fine! Since you’re folding over the edges, it is rustic and it is beautiful! A totally humble version of an apple pie that everyone adores!
