Golden galette bursting with ripe stone fruits and almond frangipane in a flaky, buttery pastry.

# What You Need:

→ Pastry

01 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
03 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
04 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
05 - 1/4 cup ice water

→ Frangipane

06 - 1/2 cup almond flour
07 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
08 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
09 - 1 large egg
10 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
11 - 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
12 - Pinch of salt

→ Stone Fruit Filling

13 - 4 cups mixed ripe stone fruits (peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots, cherries), pitted and sliced
14 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
15 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
16 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

→ Assembly

17 - 1 egg, beaten for egg wash
18 - 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling

# Directions:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut in using a pastry blender or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing just until dough comes together. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
02 - In a mixing bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, then incorporate almond flour, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
03 - In a bowl, gently toss sliced stone fruits with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and fresh lemon juice, coating evenly.
04 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Spread frangipane evenly over dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange stone fruits over frangipane. Fold pastry edges up and over filling, pleating naturally. Brush pastry edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
05 - Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until pastry is deep golden brown and fruit filling is bubbling at the edges. Cool slightly before slicing.
