Cherry-Apple Almond Galette
Zhuzh up the fall-favorite Apple Galette with the addition of dark sweet cherries and a yummy almond base.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust (store bought or homemade)
- ⅓ C whole almonds
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2-3 Tbsp sugar (divided)
- 1 ½ C dark cherries
- 1 small apple, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp milk (or enough for brushing)
- dash nutmeg
- drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (or couple pats of butter)
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the almonds, flour, and 1 of the tablespoons of sugar together until it resembles a coarse flour.
- If using homemade pie crust, roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until it's about 14" round. Transfer to a foil or parchment covered cookie sheet.
- Now spread your almond flour mixture evenly over the pie dough, leaving 2 inches of dough around the edge.
- Arrange the apple slices over the almond flour mixture, spaced evenly.
- Evenly distribute the cherries over the apples, and add your dash of nutmeg to the top.
- Fold the pie dough edge up over the filling (you'll need to 'pleat' the dough every few inches).
- Brush all exposed pie dough with milk, then sprinkle remaining sugar (1-2 T, depending on taste and sweetness of the apple used) over the crust and filling.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes (to firm the pie dough). Preheat the oven to 400°.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden.
- Drizzle with the olive oil (or scatter a few small pats of butter). Let cool slightly before serving. Fantastic with vanilla ice cream!
