Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (150 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (57 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup (67 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 6 to 8 medium fresh apricots, pitted and halved
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting after baking

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 1/2 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining. Slowly add 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water, stirring until the dough just comes together. Don’t overwork it. Wrap the dough in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the almond frangipane: In a medium bowl, beat 1/4 cup softened butter with 1/3 cup sugar until creamy. Add 1 large egg and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, mixing well. Fold in 1/2 cup almond flour and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour until smooth. The mixture should be thick but spreadable. Set aside.
  3. Slice the apricots: Pit and halve 6 to 8 medium apricots. Handle gently if very ripe to avoid mushiness.
  4. Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Assemble the galette: Spread the almond frangipane evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Arrange apricot halves skin-side down on top of the frangipane in a single layer. Fold the dough edges over the filling, pleating as you go to create a rustic border. Brush the exposed crust with milk or egg wash if desired.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake galette for 35 to 40 minutes until crust is golden and apricots are tender but not mushy. The frangipane will puff slightly and set.
  7. Finish with honey: Remove from oven and while still warm, drizzle 2 tablespoons honey generously over the top. Let cool for about 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for a flaky crust. If crust edges brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Use ripe but firm apricots for best texture. Honey drizzle adds a floral aroma and sticky glaze. Dough can be made and chilled up to 2 days ahead. For vegan adaptation, use plant-based butter, flax egg, and maple syrup instead of honey.
