The crust on this Apricot Cherry Galette is flaky and perfect and the filling is scrumptious!Our summer stone fruit is finally ripening. If you don’t happen to have an apricot tree, keep in mind that seasonal fruit is usually plentiful and inexpensive in grocery stores.

If you’ve tried our peach galette, you will LOVE this one! The apricots and cherries worked so well together. Try this Apricot Cherry Galette with a side of vanilla ice cream; good-ness!!

2. Cut 1 stick cold butter into small (1/2-inch) cubes and add it to the food processor. Push the pulse button 8 times. Your butter should become pea-sized. Add ice water 1 Tbsp at a time and pulse between each addition. Your dough is ready when it just begins to clump. I used 5 Tbsp of ice water.

3. Form the dough into a disk. Don’t overwork it, just pat it into a disk shape, dust with flour on all sides and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 45 min to 1 hour

6. On a sheet of parchment paper, roll the dough into a 12″ circle. The parchment paper makes transferring and cleanup easy! Place the parchment paper and dough onto a rimmed baking sheet to catch any leaks.

7. Arrange the apricots in circles over the dough working from the outside in. Leave a 1.5″ to 2″ dough border. Top with cherries. Discard any excess juices from the fruit, or your gallette may overflow. It will be plenty juicy without the extra syrup. Dot the top of the fruit with dots of the 1/2 Tbsp butter.

8. Fold the edges of the gallette up and over the peaches, pinching the overlapping edges together to form a nice seal. Try to patch up any cracks in the dough.

9. Brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with sugar and cinnamon. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the peach juices are syrupy. Let sit 15 minutes before serving.
