Easy Apple-Pear Galette. Made with cinnamon and nutmeg, this galette recipe has been a family favorite for years, and one that always helps our family stop and enjoy time together in the kitchen, around the stove, and later on the couch with a warm slice of cheater’s pie (another way to think about a galette, but don’t worry this kind of cheating is totally legal!).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the cold butter and crumble with a pastry blender or your fingers. Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together into a ball (about 3-4 tablespoons). Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Then top the dough with another piece of parchment. Roll the dough into a large circle. You'll need to pull up the edges of the dough, so don't roll it so thick that it's impossible to peel away from the parchment. Remove the top parchment paper. Transfer the crust (still on the bottom parchment paper) to a baking stone or cookie sheet.
Make the filling by gently combining the pear, apple, honey, flour, and spices. Pour the filling into the center of the galette, until the filling covers most of the crust. Leave about an inch of space from the outside of the crust to fold over the filling.
Fold the edges over.
Whisk together the egg and 2 tablespoon of the remaining cold water. Brush the folded crust with the egg wash.
Bake the galette, uncovered, for 50 minutes. Allow the galette to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve plain or with homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
