Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) almond flour
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
  • 4 medium nectarines, sliced (about 1 pound / 450g)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  2. Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until dough just comes together. Form dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice nectarines into ¼-inch thick wedges. Toss nectarines with honey, lemon juice, cinnamon (if using), and vanilla extract.
  4. Spread nectarine mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes until soft and caramelized. Let cool slightly.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about ⅛-inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Spoon roasted nectarines onto center of crust, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over fruit, pleating as needed. Brush crust edges with honey or egg wash.
  7. Bake galette at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and crisp and filling is bubbling. Tent edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  8. Cool galette on baking sheet for at least 15 minutes. Sprinkle with toasted slivered almonds and powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep butter as cold as possible for a flaky crust. Roasting nectarines before baking prevents soggy crust and enhances flavor. If crust edges brown too fast, tent with foil. Dough can be refrigerated up to 2 days or frozen up to a month before use. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend containing xanthan gum. For vegan, replace butter with coconut oil or vegan butter and honey with maple syrup.
