Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3-4 tbsp ice water

For the filling:

  • 1 1/2 lbs fresh apricots, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt for the crust.
  2. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
  4. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. In a separate bowl, toss together the sliced apricots, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until the apricots are evenly coated.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle.
  8. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Arrange the apricot mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
  10. Fold the edges of the dough over the apricots, pleating as necessary to create a rustic, freeform tart.
  11. Brush the beaten egg over the crust and drizzle the honey over the apricots.
  12. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apricots are tender.
  13. Allow the galette to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
