Ingredients
Galette Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter very cold
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp water ice cold
- 1 tsp white vinegar
Pear Filling:
- 4 bosc pears pealed & sliced into 1/4 inch thick pieces
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Egg wash:
- 1 egg whisked
- 3 tbsp raw sugar
Instructions
- To make the crust, combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Grate the butter into the flour, then toss to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, water, and vinegar.
- Add the liquid ingredients to the flour mixture and stir to combine. If the dough is too dry, add a little water just until it sticks. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper and roll it out into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the parchment paper with the dough on it to a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, gently toss together the sliced pears, brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Place the filling in the center of the dough round, leaving a 2-inch border around the outside. Fold the border of dough over the filling.
- Brush the edges with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the coarse sugar.
- Bake the galette for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Allow the galette to slightly cool before slicing in. Serve and enjoy!
