Rustic apricot-glazed pear galette
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 stick butter (cold & cubed)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 egg for egg wash on top of crust
- 2 pears (peeled, cored, sliced 1/4" thick)
- 4 tbsp apricot jam (warmed)
- 2 tbsp butter
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Pour flour and sugar in food processor (w/blade).
- Add butter and pulse about 5 seconds.
- (Chunks of butter should still be visible)
- Add water to flour mixture and pulse 10 seconds (until dough begins to form) DO NOT OVER MIX.
- We are looking to make a flaky/crumbly crust not a hard glutinous crust.
- Remove dough, press gently into a disc.
- Place on a sheet of plastic wrap on work surface.
- Place another sheet of plastic wrap on top of disc.
- Roll dough (between 2 plastic wrap sheets) with rolling pin until disc is a rough circle and will fit on your cookie sheet.
- (If dough begins to get too warm, pop it in the fridge for 15 minutes or so)
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on your cookie sheet.
- Remove top sheet of plastic wrap and quickly flip your disc upside down onto your parchment.
- Now remove remaining sheet of plastic wrap.
- Arrange pear slices in concentric circles working from the center outward.
- Remember rustic not prefect!
- Important: Leave about 2" of dough around the edge.
- Begin on one edge and fold over the 2" of dough towards the center on top of the pears.
- Turn your galette about an 1/8th of a turn and fold that edge onto the pears.
- Continue this folding until the whole outer edge of dough is now folded onto the pears.
- Dot the pears with chunks of the butter.
- Drizzle warmed (in microwave is fine) apricot jam on pear slices.
- (A dash of cinnamon too if you're in the mood)
- Lightly brush the top of your crust with egg wash. And bake for about an hour till crust is golden brown and pears are soft.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool before eating.
- Take care when handling the crust it is flaky/ crumbly and oh so delicious.
- Bon appetit!
- I hope you enjoy this French tart with your clann.
- Don't forget to post your pics too.
