Juicy pears meet nutty almond flavor in this elegant galette. A quick almond paste layer under the pears keeps the crust crisp while adding rich sweetness. Serve with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for a bakery-worthy finish. Pears are at their peak in the fall, and this treat is the perfect way to let them shine!
Ingredients (for 1 galette, or 6-8 servings):
1 store-bought pie crust
2 ripe pears, thinly sliced
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup almond flour
1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Mix almond flour, 1 tbsp sugar, and vanilla, then spread onto the crust center.
Arrange pear slices over the almond mixture.
Fold and crimp crust edges, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle remaining sugar.
Bake 35–40 min. until the pears are tender and the crust is golden.
