Apricot-Plum Galette with Cream Cheese and Pistachios
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of a 17-ounce package), thawed
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 large egg, for brushing
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, for brushing
- Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg or ground mace
- 1 pound apricots, plums, apriums and/or pluots, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 2 tablespoons apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry into a 12-inch square on a lightly floured surface.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate, 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: Combine the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla, the egg, lemon zest and nutmeg in a large bowl.
- Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Toss the fruit in a medium bowl with the apricot preserves and the remaining 1 tablespoon flour and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the puff pastry, leaving a 3-inch border.
- Top with the fruit mixture.
- Fold the edge of the pastry over the fruit by about 2 inches, pleating as needed to make a circle.
- Lightly beat the egg with 1 teaspoon water.
- Brush the puff pastry with the egg wash. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Scatter the butter over the fruit.
- Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes, sprinkling the pistachios over the fruit during the last 15 minutes.
- Let cool on the baking sheet.
- Dust the crust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
