Picture this: crisp autumn air, the scent of cinnamon and nutmeg wafting from your oven, and a warm, gooey galette filled with sweet apples, creamy pumpkin, and decadent brie. This Apple Pumpkin and Brie Comfort recipe is my attempt to bottle up all those cozy fall feelings into one delightful dish. Seriously, who can resist the combo of sweet, savory, and flaky?! I know I sure can't!
I remember one Thanksgiving, I was in charge of bringing dessert. I wanted something a little different than the usual pumpkin pie, and this galette was a total hit! Even my uncle, who claims to hate everything healthy, devoured a slice (or two!). Since then, it’s become a tradition, a way to welcome the changing leaves and celebrate the season with loved ones. It's funny how food can create such lasting memories, isn't it?
What makes this recipe special, you ask? Well, first of all, it’s incredibly easy to make. You don’t need to be a pastry chef to nail this one. Second, the combination of flavors is just divine. The sweetness of the apples and pumpkin is balanced perfectly by the rich, creamy brie, all wrapped up in a buttery, flaky crust. It’s like a hug in a slice! Oh and lets not forget the textures, its all so pleasing to munch on! And third, it’s versatile. Serve it as a dessert, a brunch dish, or even a light lunch. Trust me, this galette will become your new go-to for fall gatherings... or just a quiet night in with a good book.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup much easier!
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced apple and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until slightly softened. Don't overcook them; they should still have a bit of bite.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly. This step is crucial for developing that warm, cozy flavor.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the apple pumpkin mixture cool slightly. This prevents the pastry from becoming soggy.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. I sometimes forget this part, lol, and make a mess!
- Spread the cooled apple pumpkin mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange the brie slices over the apple pumpkin mixture.
- Gently fold the edges of the puff pastry over the filling, pleating as you go. Brush the pastry with the egg wash. This gives it that gorgeous golden sheen.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the brie is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it – ovens vary!
- Let the galette cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring it to a serving platter. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with chopped walnuts, if desired. Oh my gosh it looks scrumptious!
- Slice and serve warm. Enjoy this delicious apple pumpkin and brie galette with a cup of hot tea or coffee. It's the perfect autumn treat.
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular butter.
- Add a splash of maple syrup to the apple pumpkin mixture for extra sweetness.
- If you don’t have walnuts, pecans or almonds work great too!
