Orange and Plum Galette
Ingredients
Let's gather the ingredients!
Crust
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ stick unsalted butter cut into cubes
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 medium egg beaten, for egg wash
- 1 tsp water for egg wash
- coarse sugar for sprinkling
Filling
- 8 plums pitted and sliced thin
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp orange zest
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
Let's Begin!
Crust
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter to the dough and use your fingers to work the butter into the dough until the mixture resembled crumbs.
- Add the sour cream to the mixture and mix in with a fork. Gather the dough into a ball with your hands and flatten it into a disk shape.
- Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour before rolling it out.
Filling
- In a medium-sized bowl, gently toss the plum slices with the sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, orange zest, and cornstarch.
Let's Assemble and Bake!
- Preheat oven to 375℉. And line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to a 13-inch round of even thickness.
- Place the rolled-out dough in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the plum slices in a circular pattern, starting from 1 1/2 to 2 inches from the outside edge of the dough, working your way into the center.
- Fold the edges of the pie crust up and over so that circle of the filling is visible.
- Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl. Brush on the exposed pastry crust with a pastry brush. Sprinkle with some coarse sugar.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and the filling is bubbly. Cool on a rack for an hour before serving.
- Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
