Currently, apples seem to be the only fruit in season. So why not simply make more out of apples? In a way, apples are in season all year round. For the apple walnut galette, we have chosen the crisp and sour Granny Smith apples. The Granny Smith apples are easy to recognise by their bright green colour. This apple variety is harvested in autumn and is in peak season at the moment.
