Plum and Almond Galette

By NickiR

This was delicious and very easy to make.

Ingredients

• TOPPING:
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds, chopped
• 2 Tbsp. butter
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp. flour
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• GALETTE:
• 5 ripe plums
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 sheet prepared butter puff pastry, rolled to a 12x12 inch square
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp. coarse sugar crystals

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Toast the almonds on a baking sheet for about 7 minutes, until golden. Allow to cool slightly; then combine with the butter, sugar, flour and cinnamon until crumbly. Set aside.

Cut each plum into 8 wedges and toss together with ¼ cup brown sugar.

Place the prepared pastry on a parchment lined baking sheet. Spread half the almond mixture in the centre of the pastry square. Mound the plums over top of the almond mixture, leaving a 2 inch border of pastry.

Sprinkle the remaining almond mixture on top of the plums. Pull the pastry edges up over the outer layer of plums to form a rough circle, pleating the pastry as you go. Brush the pastry with egg yolk and sprinkle with coarse sugar crystals.

Bake at 375* for 40 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the plums have softened. Allow to cool before serving.
