Questions about Gala apple
Do you need to peel a Gala apple before eating it?
No: wash it well and eat it with the skin on, or peel it if you prefer a softer texture. The skin also helps apple wedges hold their shape when baked.
How do you stop a cut Gala apple from going brown?
Toss the slices with a little lemon juice, then keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. The acid slows browning without needing to cook the apple.
Can you bake with Gala apples?
Yes. They soften quickly, so they work well in cakes, muffins and apple sauce; for a pie where you want distinct chunks, combine them with a firmer, tarter apple.
What goes well with a Gala apple?
Its mild sweetness pairs well with sharp cheddar, peanut butter, yoghurt, porridge and walnuts. Slice it into a cheese sandwich or add it to a salad with leafy greens and a tangy dressing.
How should you choose and store Gala apples?
Choose firm apples with smooth, unbruised skin. Keep them in the fridge to slow softening; separate bruised or cut fruit and eat it first.
How much of a Gala apple is a typical portion?
One medium Gala apple, about 172 g, makes a convenient portion. It provides 98 kcal and 4 g of fibre.
