Apricot galette recipe – a simple, quick, and delicious summer pie for when guests are on the doorstep. It looks rustic, but that’s where its charm lies! The crust is magical, melting in your mouth, and its moderate sweetness pairs perfectly with the light tartness of the apricots. We’ll use two types of flour – wheat and almond, the latter subtly enhancing the apricot flavor. If you don’t have almond flour, you can use all wheat flour.
Easy Apricot Galette Recipe
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 150 g wheat flour
- 50 g almond flour
- 100 g butter 82.5% fat
- 100 g sour cream 15-20% fat
- 30 g granulated sugar
- A pinch of salt
For the filling:
- 600 g fresh apricots
- 1.5 tbsp cornstarch
- 100 g granulated sugar
Optional for serving:
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Dough Preparation:
- Place 150g of wheat flour, 50g of almond flour, 30g of sugar, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
- Grate 100g of well-chilled butter into the mixture.
- Quickly chop into crumbs using a fork or knife.
- Add 100g of cold sour cream.
- Quickly knead the dough without using your hands to avoid warming it up.
- Form into a ball.
- You can do this in the bowl or on a floured surface. The key is to work quickly to ensure the dough remains tender.Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least half an hour. You can also make it the day before or freeze it for up to a month.
Filling and Shaping the Galette:
- Prepare the apricots: cut in half and remove the pits. If the fruits are large, cut into quarters.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a uniform thickness of 4-5 mm. The more even the edges, the prettier the galette, but it’s not essential; we’re making a rustic pie, not a museum piece.
- Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread 1.5 tbsp of cornstarch in the center.
- Smooth it out a bit.
- Arrange the apricots on top.
- Sprinkle with sugar. Adjust to taste; I used 100g as my apricots weren’t very sweet.
- Fold up the edges and pinch them together. The dough is very tender, so handle it carefully to avoid tearing the bottom, which could cause the syrup to leak during baking.Pinch the edges as best you can; remember, a galette is supposed to be round and flat by definition.
Baking the Galette:
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes.
- Remove and cool. The syrup inside is hot, so be careful!For added sweetness and decoration, sprinkle with powdered sugar using a sifter.
- This apricot galette is very tasty, beautiful, and perfectly summery! It’s simple and delightful, just like summer itself.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, with tea or coffee, or enjoy it on its own.
