Galette with apricot-plum filling, cream cheese and pistachios topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
Cake
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half a 500g package), thawed
- Flour, for work
- 1 large egg, for brushing
- Powdered sugar for sprinkling
Filling
- 220 g of cream cheese, room temperature
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp. flour
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, for brushing
- Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
- A pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 450 g apricots, plums, apriums and/or pluots, pitted and cut into 1 cm pieces.
- 2 tbsp. l. apricot jam
- 1 tablespoon chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 30x30 cm square. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla, egg, lemon zest, and nutmeg. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. In a medium bowl, combine the fruit with the apricot jam, the remaining 1 tablespoon flour, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the puff pastry, leaving a 3-inch border. Top with the fruit mixture. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling by about 2 inches, pleating the pastry as needed to form a round galette. Lightly beat the egg with 1 teaspoon of water. Brush the puff pastry with the egg mixture. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Scatter pats of butter over the fruit. Bake until golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 40-45 minutes, sprinkling with pistachios 15 minutes before the end of the baking time. Let cool on the baking sheet. Dust the crust with powdered sugar before serving.
