Description

Fresh, sweet apricots are baked with a delicious almond paste in this apricot almond galette recipe. Use homemade pastry or a store-bought pie crust.

Ingredients

• 1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust (such as Pillsbury®)

• 10 small fresh apricots, pitted and quartered

• 1/3 cup white sugar

• 1 cup almond meal

• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

• 1 egg

• 1/3 cup apricot jam, melted

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll out pie crust onto a baking sheet.

2 Toss apricots with white sugar in a bowl until evenly coated; set aside.

3 Combine almond meal, confectioners' sugar, and egg in a separate bowl until paste-like; spread onto center of pie crust, leaving ½ inch bare crust around edges. Arrange sugared apricots on top almond paste.

4 Fold ½-inch bare crust edge inward over almond paste and apricots, leaving center of galette uncovered. Crimp crust edges with a fork.

5 Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes. Brush melted apricot jam over galette. Slice; serve hot.
