Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 8 tbsp (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3–4 tbsp ice water
  • ½ cup (60g) almond flour
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (56g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 ripe nectarines, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (125g) fresh raspberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
  • Coarse sugar or sliced almonds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut into flour using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  2. Drizzle 3 tbsp ice water over mixture and gently mix. Add 4th tablespoon if needed. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat almond flour, sugar, softened butter, egg, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, gently toss sliced nectarines and raspberries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about ⅛-inch thick. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Spread almond cream evenly over dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange fruit mixture on top in a single layer. Fold edges of dough over fruit, pleating to create rustic edge.
  7. Brush dough edges with beaten egg yolk mixture. Sprinkle with coarse sugar or sliced almonds if desired.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake galette for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden and fruit filling bubbles. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly.
  9. Let galette cool at least 15 minutes on baking sheet before slicing and serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for a flaky crust. Use cornstarch in fruit filling to prevent soggy crust. Chill dough if too soft while rolling. Tent with foil if crust browns too fast. Let galette cool before slicing to allow almond cream to set. Can substitute almond flour with hazelnuts or all-purpose flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and flax egg. Gluten-free flour blend can be used for gluten-free version.
