Fruit Galette
Ingredients
Dough:
- 1 cup flour
- ¾ stick margarine
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2½ tbsp ice cold water
- pinch salt
Fruit:
- 3 apricots, cut in half and pitted
- 6-7 cherries, cut in half and pitted
- OR 4-5 plums, cut in half and pitted
- nonstick cooking spray
- sugar
- confectioners' sugar
Instructions
- Combine dough ingredients together by hand. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll out dough into a 10 to 11-inch circle. Place dough on a sheet of baking paper or in a floured 10-inch round pan (leave the dough overlapping the sides for now).
- Place fruit in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold up the edges of the dough over the fruit and pinch into pleats.
- Spray border with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle sugar generously over dough and fruit. At this point you can freeze it as-is. When ready to bake, just defrost and bake.
- Bake at 400°F for 55-60 minutes.
- Sprinkle generously with confectioners' sugar (as some kids say: a blizzard of sugar).
Notes
You should always taste the fruit before using it in the pie to make sure the fruit isn’t too tart. You want sweet summer fruits for a sweet pie.
