MARCH 2023:
APRICOT & ALMOND GALETTE

INGREDIENTS:
-½ cup almonds, preferably blanched
-⅓ cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
-1 large egg
-4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
-½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
-½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-Pinch of kosher salt
-1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
-1 package frozen puff pastry, preferably all-butter, thawed
-12 apricots, halved, pitted, or other stone fruit, quartered if large

DIRECTIONS:
Step 1
Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Pulse almonds and ⅓ cup sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Add egg and pulse to combine. Add butter, almond extract (if using), vanilla extract, salt, and 1 Tbsp. flour; pulse until almond cream is smooth. (Can make up to 3 days in advance).
Step 2
Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface just to smooth out any creases. 
Step 3
If you’re using a package of pastry that has 2 sheets, stack and roll out to a ¼"–⅛"-thick rectangle.
Step 4
If your package contains a single 16x10" sheet of puff pastry, halve it crosswise and roll out one half on a lightly floured surface until rectangle is ¼"–⅛" thick; save remaining half for another use. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Fold over edges of pastry to make a ½" border around all sides. Prick surface all over with a fork (this keeps the pastry from rising too much when baked and helps it cook through). Spread almond cream over pastry, staying inside borders. (Chill dough in the freezer for a few minutes if it becomes too soft to work with.) Set apricots, cut sides up, on top of almond cream. Sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Step 5
Bake galette until pastry is golden brown and puffed, 15–20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325° and continue to bake until pastry is deep golden brown and cooked through and apricots are softened and browned in spots, 15–20 minutes longer.
