A simple, rustic galette featuring juicy nectarines and a flaky honey almond crust that is quick to prepare and perfect for casual gatherings.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour – 1 ½ cups (180 g)
  • Almond flour – ½ cup (50 g)
  • Unsalted butter – ½ cup (115 g), cold and cubed
  • Honey – 3 tablespoons (for dough), plus 1 tablespoon (for brushing crust)
  • Cold water – 3 to 4 tablespoons
  • Salt – ¼ teaspoon
  • Fresh nectarines – about 4 medium-sized, sliced
  • Granulated sugar – 2 tablespoons (optional)
  • Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon
  • Ground cinnamon – ½ teaspoon
  • Almond extract – ¼ teaspoon (optional)
  • All-purpose flour – 1 tablespoon (for tossing with nectarines)
  • Sliced almonds – 2 tablespoons (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
  2. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of honey over the flour mixture. Add 3 tablespoons of cold water and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Add an extra tablespoon of water if needed. Form the dough into a rough disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While the dough chills, slice the nectarines into 1/4-inch thick wedges. In a medium bowl, toss nectarines with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, almond extract (if using), and 1 tablespoon flour. Set aside.
  4. Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin. Roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Pile the nectarines in the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the fruit, pleating as you go. Brush the exposed crust edges with 1 tablespoon honey. Sprinkle sliced almonds over the top.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the galette for 40-45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. Tent with foil if crust edges brown too quickly.
  7. Let the galette cool for at least 15 minutes on the baking sheet before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use cold butter and minimal water for a flaky crust. Brushing honey on crust edges before baking adds a golden sheen. Coat fruit with flour to prevent soggy crust. Tent with foil if crust browns too fast. Dough can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated.
