    Father's Day is just around the corner and what better way to cap off the day than with a sweet treat? This Elegant Apricot Galette with Almond Cream looks like you spent all day in the kitchen, but only takes an hour to prepare.

    Elegant Apricot Galette with Almond Cream

    I love using shortcuts to create elegant and easy desserts, such as my Easy Apple Tartelettes. This sweet and savory galette combines one of my favorite grocery store short cuts for a sweet and savory confection.

    Fresh and Delicious

    With just a handful of ingredients, this gorgeous Elegant Apricot Galette with Almond Cream comes together effortlessly. Combining both sweet and savory ingredients, it's perfect to serve for any occasion.

    • Store bought pie crust - I love using store bought pie crust as a short cut for this galette. Use your favorite brand.
    • Apricots - You will want to use fresh apricots for this, not canned or frozen.
    • Honey - This is the only sweetener for the apricots, allowing their flavor to shine. Lighter colored honey will have more of a neutral flavor while darker honeys will be a little more bitter with more of a molasses backnote.
    • Rosemary - Fresh rosemary makes this beautiful galette a little more savory and adds a woodsy note.
    • Almond flakes - These add texture to the galette and also echo the flavor in the almond cream.
    • Almond flour - This is the base for the almond cream, which is also called frangipane.
    • Egg
    • Butter - Allow your butter to come to room temperature. This will make it easy to combine with the other ingredients for the almond cream.
    • Powdered sugar
    • Almond extract

    Skip the pie pan. This effortless galette combines fresh apricots with a free formed pie crust using your favorite store-bought crust.

    2. Almond Cream

      Add all of your ingredients for the almond cream, or frangipane, to a bowl. Use a fork to mix it together until a thick batter forms. Make sure your butter is at room temperature and soft so it comes together easily. Elegant Apricot Galette with Almond Cream

    3. Roll Out

      Roll your dough out onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread the almond cream all over the dough, leaving a one-inch boarder free of the almond cream.Elegant Apricot Galette with Almond Cream

    7. Cool Down

      Allow your galette to cool completely before serving. Elegant Apricot Galette with Almon Cream

    Easy Substitution

    The almond cream in this dessert uses almond flour which is gluten free. You can easily substitute the store-bought pie crust for a gluten free variety making this entire dessert gluten free.

    Switch It Up

    With just a few tweaks, you can transform this galette into something new.

    • Stone Fruit - Swap the apricots for plums, peaches, or nectarines.
    • Thyme - Try switching the fresh rosemary for fresh thyme for a slightly lemony flavor.

    Equipment to Make Elegant Apricot Galette with Almond Cream

    Unlike other types of pie, there is no need for a pie pan for this galette. You only need two special tools that you already probably have.

    • Baking Sheet - Use your favorite baking sheet or cookie sheet for this recipe. You will want one large enough to accommodate the circumference of the pie.
    • Parchment paper - This not only helps prevent your crust from sticking to the pan, it also helps the bottom brown, and makes it easy to transfer to a cutting board or serving plate.

    How to Your Elegant Apricot Galette with Almond Cream

    To ensure the freshness of the apricots and the flakiness of the crust you will want to store your galette in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator. It can be served at room temperature or warmed.

    Top Tip

    The beauty of this galette is its rustic appearance. Don't be worried about trying to fold your crust into perfection. Just leave yourself a 1' boarder of dough to fold over and keep those juicy apricots contained.
