Plum Almond Galette

This galette is simple to make and has a buttery almond crust filled with juicy, sweet plums. Great for a cozy dessert or a treat in the afternoon.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/4 cup ice water
• 6-8 ripe plums, pitted and sliced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons almond flour
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
• 1 egg, beaten for egg wash
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

All-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, salt, and cold cubed butter should all be pulsed together in a food processor until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs

While pulsing, slowly add ice water until the dough just comes together

Spread the dough out on a lightly floured surface and make a disk shape with it

Put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes after wrapping it in plastic wrap

Before you start cooking, heat the oven to 375F 190C

Put parchment paper on the bottom of a baking sheet

Sliced plums, sugar, almond flour, lemon juice, and almond extract should all be mixed together in a bowl

The dough should be chilled before you roll it out into a circle about 12 inches across

Place it on the baking sheet that has been prepared

Put the plum mixture in the middle of the dough, leaving about 2 inches of dough around the edges

Fold the doughs edges over the plum filling, making pleats as needed

Beat an egg and brush it around the edges of the dough

Then, put sliced almonds on top of the galette

After the oven is hot, bake the pie for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly

Let the galette cool down a bit before adding the powdered sugar

You can serve it hot or cold
