📋 Directions:
- 🌿 Prepare the vanilla: Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the back of a knife.
- 🥣 Make the hazelnut cream: In a bowl, whisk together 120g of softened butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy. Stir in the ground hazelnuts and vanilla seeds. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, mix in the rum.
- 🍎 Prepare the apples: Peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut them into small pieces. In a skillet, sauté the apple pieces in 20g of butter over high heat for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
- 🥐 Assemble the galette: Place one puff pastry sheet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the hazelnut cream evenly over the pastry, leaving a 2 cm (3/4 inch) border. Layer the sautéed apples on top. Lightly moisten the border with water.
- 🥟 Seal the galette: Cover with the second pastry sheet and press the edges together to seal. Brush the surface with the egg yolk. Decorate the top with a knife by lightly scoring patterns without piercing the dough.
- 🔥 Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the galette for 40 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.
- ❄️ Serve: Allow the galette to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this festive and indulgent treat with family and friends!
