Bastille Day: Little French apple galettes

ready-rolled flaky pastry

apricot jam, sieved if lumpy

Tbsp gin

apples

pistachio nuts, lightly toasted and chopped

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line one or two baking trays with baking paper.

Peel, core and thinly slice the apples. Place the slices over the pastry circles, overlapping them slightly like scales on a fish. Brush with more jam and sprinkle with the pistachios.

Excellent served with crème fraiche, whipped cream or ice cream.
