Apple GaletteRomulo Yanes

Think of it as apples in the buff: Stripped of the usual apple-pie spices, the fruits' natural floral qualities really come through. And free-form as it is, the rustic tart is very easy to make (there's no need for a pie plate)—not to mention refreshingly light.

Cooks' note:

Galette can be baked 5 hours ahead and cooled, uncovered, then kept at room temperature. If desired, reheat in a 350°F oven until warm, about 5 minutes.
