Additional

History suggests that cowboys used to make galettes over campfires. Feel free to swap parsley with any of your preferred herbs like thyme or basil for a different flavor profile. Kids can happily take part in apple arrangement or sprinkling sugar powders. For those with a sweet tooth, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
