Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 8 tbsp (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3–4 tbsp ice water
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (50g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tbsp (57g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 5–6 ripe apricots, halved and pitted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp dried culinary lavender buds
  • 1 tbsp water
  • Optional garnishes: sliced almonds, powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Make the Galette Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Add cold cubed butter and work into flour until coarse crumbs form. Slowly add ice water until dough just comes together. Wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Almond Frangipane: Cream softened butter with sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and almond extract. Fold in almond flour and salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Prep the Apricots: Halve and pit apricots. Toss with sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Let macerate for 10 minutes.
  4. Roll Out the Dough: Roll dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick on a floured surface. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Assemble the Galette: Spread almond frangipane over dough leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange apricots over frangipane. Fold edges over fruit, pleating as needed.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush crust with milk or beaten egg. Bake 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and apricots bubble. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast.
  7. Make the Honey Lavender Glaze: Warm honey, lavender, and water gently over low heat for about 3 minutes. Strain out lavender buds.
  8. Glaze and Cool: Brush glaze over hot galette immediately after baking. Cool on rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Keep butter cold when making dough to ensure a flaky crust. Avoid overloading fruit to prevent soggy crust. Chill dough if sticky before rolling. Apply honey lavender glaze immediately after baking for best flavor and shine. Dough can be made up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated.
