Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1 1/2 pounds ripe plums pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup almond meal almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
  • 1 large egg beaten

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • While the dough is chilling, prepare the plum filling. In a large bowl, combine the sliced plums, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon. Toss gently to coat the plums evenly.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the almond meal evenly over the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
  • Arrange the plum mixture over the almond meal, leaving the 2-inch border clear. Dot the plums with small pieces of butter.
  • Gently fold the edges of the dough over the plum filling, pleating as you go. The center of the galette should remain open.
  • Brush the folded edges of the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the sliced almonds.
  • Bake the rustic plum galette in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the plums are tender and juicy. Keep an eye on it; if the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can tent it with foil.
  • Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
