Apple Galette

All of the beautiful fall apples have me thinking about apple pie.  This Apple Galette or Rustic Apple Pie is a family favorite.  Our food allergies necessitated a few changes to my baking routine.  Gluten free baking can be intimidating but with the right ingredients, success possible! This recipe can be used with all-purpose flour as well!
