Cut the vanilla pod in half, lengthwise.
In a saucepan, tip the milk and caramel candies. Bring to a boil.

... stir well to dissolve the caramel candies.
Pour the milk over the egg and cornflour mixture.
Combine well.
Transfer the preparation into the saucepan used to boil the milk.
Cook for a few minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk...
... until thick.
Add the soft butter, cut into cubes. Combine until the butter is completely incorporated completely.
Pour the preparation into a large dish and spread to a thin layer...

In a mixing bowl, place the soft butter.
Add the almond powder...

Peel the apples.
Cut them in half and core...
... and cut into quarters.
In a frying pan, sauté the apples for a few minutes.
Sprinkle some brown sugar.
Let the caramelize over low heat. Make sure the apples do not turn a purée.
Roll out half of the puff pastry to a thickness of 3 or 4mm.
Wrap the pastry around the rolling pin...
... then gently place it on a non-stick baking sheet.
Using a brush, glaze the edge of the pastry, making a circle with a diameter of 32cm.
Spread some almond cream in the centre of the disc. At this stage, if you wish, you can bury one trinket inside the almond cream.
Place the caramelised apple quarters on top, forming a swirl.
Roll out the second portion of puff pastry.
Wrap the pastry around the rolling pin...
... then gently place it over the almond cream and apples to cover.
Place a large round cutter around the filled centre...
... and cut the pastry all around it with a knife.
Discard the pastry scraps.
Using a utility knife, make small indentations all around the edge. This operation seals both layers of pastry.
Glaze the surface of the galette with a beaten egg yolk.
Using a small knife, score curved lines, starting from the centre towards the edge...
... over the whole surface.
Bake at 180-200°C (gas 4-6).
The pastry should puff and the surface should be golden brown.
The galette is ready when the base pastry is cooked. Gently lift with a spatula to check.
Remove from the oven. In the centre, place a round cake board or plate with a smaller diameter than the cake. Drizzle with sifted icing sugar.
Gently remove the cake board.
The icing sugar circle should be neat.
Apply some clear glaze with a brush in the centre of the cake. Melt the glaze and one tablespoon of water in the microwave beforehand.
Arrange dark chocolate pearls in the centre. Enjoy!
