Spiced Pear and Pistachio Galette with Honey Vanilla Glaze

Ingredients

• •1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• •1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• •3-4 tablespoons ice water
• •2 ripe pears, thinly sliced
• •1/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
• •2 tablespoons brown sugar
• •1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• •1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• •1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• •1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• •1 tablespoon raw sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
• •2 tablespoons honey
• •1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1

   In a food processor, combine flour, salt, and granulated sugar. Add the cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. 2

   Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough just comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. 4

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circular shape, approximately 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

5. 5

   Arrange the pear slices in an overlapping circular pattern in the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the chopped pistachios, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg evenly over the pears.

7. 7

   Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed, leaving the center exposed.

8. 8

   Brush the crust edges with the beaten egg and sprinkle with raw sugar if desired.

9. 9

   Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the pears are tender.

10. 10

    While baking, mix honey and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Once the galette is out of the oven, drizzle the honey vanilla glaze over the warm pears.

11. 11

    Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
