Dessert

Apricot Mint Galette

Buttery pastry holds tart apricots, honey, toasted pistachios, and a final scattering of fresh mint.

Ingredients

  • 1 disk pie dough
  • 1 1/2 pounds apricots, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup toasted pistachios
  • 1/4 cup small fresh mint leaves

Method

  1. Heat oven to 400 F and roll dough into a rough 12-inch circle.
  2. Toss apricots with sugar, honey, cornstarch, lemon zest, and salt.
  3. Pile fruit in the center of the dough and fold the edges over it.
  4. Brush crust with egg and bake until the pastry is deep golden, 35 to 40 minutes.
  5. Cool 10 minutes, then finish with pistachios and mint leaves.

Fresh Mint Tip

Use the smallest mint leaves so they look intentional and eat easily with flaky pastry.
