Ingredients

½ pound (226 grams) fresh apricots (about 2 small apricots), halved, pitted, and sliced ½ inch thick½ pound (226 grams) fresh plums (about 2 medium plums), halved, pitted, and sliced ½ inch thick½ pound (226 grams) fresh peaches (about 2 medium peaches), halved, pitted, and sliced ½ inch thick¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar2 teaspoons (6 grams) cornstarch1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt1 teaspoon (1 gram) lemon zest¼ teaspoon grated fresh gingerAll-Butter Pie Dough (recipe follows)1 large egg (50 grams)1 tablespoon (15 grams) waterTurbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together all fruit, granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon zest, and ginger.
On a lightly floured surface, roll All-Butter Pie Dough into a 14-inch circle. Transfer to prepared pan. Using the back of a knife, lightly score a 9-inch circle in center of dough. Arrange fruit within circle as desired. Fold excess dough over fruit, pleating and folding as desired. Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon (15 gram) water. Brush onto edges of dough. Sprinkle turbinado sugar onto dough and fruit. Transfer galette to oven.
Immediately reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Bake until fruit is soft and crust is golden brown, 40 to50 minutes, covering with foil during final 10 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning. Let cool on pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

PRO TIP

We like leaving the peel on the fruit for this galette—it brings beautiful color to the dessert and helps the fruit stay intact during baking. If you prefer to peel your fruit, turn to page 18 for step-by-step instructions for quick and easy peeling.

All Butter Pie Dough

Makes 1 (9-inch) crust

Ingredients

cups (188 grams) all-purpose flour1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt½ cup (113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes cup (80 grams) ice water

Instructions

In the work bowl of a food processor, pulse flour and salt until combined. Add cold butter, and pulse until mixture is crumbly and butter is pea-size. With processor running, add ⅓ cup (80 grams) ice water in a slow, steady stream just until dough comes together. (Mixture may appear crumbly but should be moist and hold together when pinched.)
Turn out dough, and shape into a disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days. Let stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before rolling out.
