Wonderful almond flavor! I would have given this a "5" except I, too, didn't like the way the caramel mixture hardened to a shell, rather than being warm and gooey. But the galette itself was delicious.

Marzipan (sweetened almond paste) can be found with other baking ingredients in the supermarket. Look for it packaged in a small box or can.

Ingredients
- 1/2 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie dough (such as Pillsbury)
- Cooking spray
- 1/2 cup marzipan, softened
- 4 cups sliced peeled Granny Smith apple (about 2 pounds)
- 3/4 cup sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon almond extract, divided
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Dash of salt
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Line a jelly roll pan with foil; coat foil with cooking spray. Roll dough to a 14-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place dough on prepared pan. Roll marzipan to a 9-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place marzipan on top of dough.
- Combine apple, 1/2 cup sugar, flour, 3/4 teaspoon almond extract, juice, and salt in a large bowl; toss well. Spoon apple mixture over marzipan. Fold 2-inch dough border over the apple mixture, pressing gently to seal (dough will only partially cover apple mixture). Bake at 425° for 30 minutes or until lightly browned (apple filling may leak slightly during cooking).
- Place 1/4 cup sugar in a small heavy saucepan over medium-high heat; cook until sugar dissolves, stirring as needed to dissolve the sugar evenly (about 4 minutes). Cook 1 minute or until golden. Remove from heat; carefully stir in 1/4 teaspoon almond extract. Drizzle over galette.
