Preparation

Preparing the Almond Crust

Mix dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt.

Cut in the butter

Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Form dough and chill

Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preparing the Apricot Filling

Combine filling ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine sliced apricots, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch.

Mix gently

Mix gently until the apricots are well coated with the mixture.

Macerate

Let it sit for 10 minutes to macerate and absorb the flavors.

Cooking Process

Roll out the dough

Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out to a 12-inch round on a floured surface.

Fill the galette

Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet and pile the apricot mixture in the center, leaving a 2-inch border.

Form the galette

Fold the edges of the dough over the apricots, pleating as you go to form the galette shape. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with almonds.
