Rustic Plum Galette is a delightful and easy-to-make dessert with juicy, cinnamon-spiced plums nestled in a flaky, buttery crust. This free-form tart is a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, making it a simple yet elegant treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

  • 1/4 cup ice water (you may need a bit more if the dough is too dry)

For the filling:

  • 4-5 ripe plums, pitted and sliced

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste depending on the sweetness of the plums)

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

For finishing:

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  • Make the crust:
    In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, stirring until the dough forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  • Prepare the filling:
    Slice plums and combine with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla. Toss gently and set aside.

  • Assemble the galette:
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Place plum mixture in the center, leaving a 1.5-inch border. Fold edges over the filling, pleating the dough as you go. Dot with butter and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

  • Bake and serve:
    Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover galette at room temperature for up to 2 days.Reheating: To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.Frozen plums: If using frozen plums, thaw and drain well before use.Substitutes: You can use other fruits like peaches, nectarines, or berries for variation.
