Fifth Avenue Apple Galette
This is one of those days in Florida when you can sit outside for an afternoon snack relishing the temperatures, breeze and sweets. Today we celebrated the beginning of our lovely winter weather. When I decided to use the Fifth Avenue candy bars I thought of the first time I walked on Fifth Avenue in New York. It was amazing and yet so disappointing at the same time. For a shopping street or avenue I (in my mind) thought of the beautiful Worth Avenue in Palm Beach which was my shopping “trip” of choice. Alas, Fifth Avenue has its own vibe, I do prefer the charm of Worth Avenue. This might be a bit too sweet for a breakfast, but not for me. It just includes candy bars! But really that is no different from many sweet rolls, stollens and breakfast rings. So enjoy, makes a great dessert as well with a dollop of ice cream.
