A delightful Pear and Almond Galette, perfect for a cozy autumn treat. This rustic tart showcases sweet pears and crunchy almonds in a flaky pastry.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 4-6 tablespoons ice water
  • 3 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  2. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together.
  4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, gently toss the sliced pears with granulated sugar, almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle.
  8. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Arrange the pear slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
  10. Fold the dough border over the edges of the pears, pleating as needed.
  11. Brush the folded dough with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  12. Scatter the sliced almonds over the pears.
  13. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the pears are tender.
  14. Let the galette cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter and water are very cold for a flaky crust.
  • You can substitute other nuts like walnuts or pecans for the almonds.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
