Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup (113g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
  • 6 medium fresh apricots, pitted and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)
  • 1 additional tablespoon honey (for drizzling)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) mascarpone cheese, whipped slightly
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and cut into the flour using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  2. Gradually add ice water, stirring until dough just starts to come together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Filling: Slice apricots into thin wedges. In a bowl, combine apricots with honey, thyme, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch (if using). Toss gently to coat.
  4. Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a roughly 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Assemble the Galette: Arrange apricot mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges up over the fruit, pleating as you go. Brush crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake galette for 35 to 40 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove from oven and drizzle additional honey over warm filling. Let cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Serve with whipped mascarpone on the side or on top.

Notes

Keep butter cold and avoid overworking dough for a flaky crust. Use cornstarch if apricots are very juicy to prevent sogginess. Dough can be made ahead and chilled overnight. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast. For vegan or gluten-free adaptations, see variations.
