Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, very cold and cubed
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water
  • 1/2 cup (120g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 6–8 fresh apricots, halved and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
  • Flaked almonds for sprinkling
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Galette Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into flour using a pastry cutter or pulse in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces. Add 3 tablespoons ice water and mix gently, adding an extra tablespoon if needed, until dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Almond Cream: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, sugar, heavy cream, egg, and almond extract. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
  3. Roast the Apricots: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss apricot halves with honey, melted butter, lemon juice, and sea salt. Spread cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Let cool slightly.
  4. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread almond cream evenly over dough, leaving a 2-inch border clear.
  5. Assemble the Galette: Arrange roasted apricot halves over almond cream in a single layer. Fold dough edges over filling, pleating as you go. Brush dough edges with egg wash and sprinkle flaked almonds on top.
  6. Bake the Galette: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden brown and almond cream is set and bubbly. If edges brown too fast, loosely cover with foil after 25 minutes.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow galette to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Keep butter cold when making dough for a flaky crust. Roast apricots before baking to prevent soggy crust and deepen sweetness. Fold galette edges slowly to maintain rustic pleats. Use egg wash for a golden sheen. Dough can be made and chilled up to 48 hours ahead. For gluten-free, substitute flour with 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. For dairy-free, use coconut cream and plant-based butter.
