These delightful galettes, filled with fresh apricots and blackberries, are not only a treat for the taste buds but also a beautiful homage to sunflowers. Perfect for a sunny day dessert or a picnic, this recipe makes two 16 cm (6 in) galettes.
Ingredients
For the Pie Crust:
- 200 g (1½ cups) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 100 g (7 tablespoons) cold butter, cubed
- 3 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
- 4 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 teaspoons corn starch
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 4-5 apricots (around 200-250 g), thinly sliced
- 7 blackberries
- 10 g (scant tablespoon) butter
For the Egg Wash:
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disc, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar, corn starch, and optional ground cinnamon. Add 1 tablespoon of this mixture to the sliced blackberries and the rest to the sliced apricots. Toss well to ensure the fruit is evenly coated.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the pie crust discs into a circle about 20 cm (8 in) in diameter.
- Leaving about a 2 cm (1 in) border around the edges, arrange the blackberries in the center and the sliced apricots around them to mimic a sunflower. Fold the edges of the pie crust over the filling, pleating as necessary to create a neat circle. Dot the filling with butter.
- Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash and brush the exposed crust with it.
- Follow the same process with the second galette.
- Bake the galettes for approximately 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Let the galettes cool before serving.
Serve your beautiful apricot and blackberry galettes warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delightful flavors of summer.
