Apple Galettes

Hello everyone, I started a new lab in my second segment called "Pies and Tarts". My first assignment was to create a pastry called "Apple Galettes". Apple galettes is a pastry made out of a basic pie dough, or a 3,2,1 pie dough, with a layer of frangipane and another layer of sliced granny smith apples. Frangipane is just a simple mixture of almond cream and pastry cream that adds a creamy, nutty flavor to the apple galette. Personally I didn't care for the frangipane added to the apple galette. I would have added a layer of orange marmalade or raspberry jelly as a replacement of the frangipane.  I think the idea of the pastry is very cute and simple. They remind me of wheels to a bicycle.  The toasted almonds and powdered sugar was a very nice touch to the pastry for the finish product.
