Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  6. Brush each with lemon juice, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.
  7. Bake until apples are tender and edges of puff pastry are light golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes.
  8. In heavy 2-quart saucepan over moderately high heat, combine sugar with 1/4 cup water and bring to boil. Continue cooking, swirling pan occasionally (do not stir), until light golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in cream and salt. Return to heat and bring to boil.
  10. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  11. Dust galettes with powdered sugar and serve with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream.
