Mon Dieu, this is a french classic. The Galette, meaning: (uneven and open- faced pie). One can find these juicy, rustic galettes in Paris at almost every patisserie. These are so easy to make, and I'm gladly bring back memories from past visits to the city of love in my own kitchen.
This will make a perfect dessert for Mothers day brunch.
Recipe is below pictures. Enjoy!

Rustic Plum Galette
For the Crust:
1Β cup Flour
3 tablespoons Almond Meal
2 tablespoon brown Sugar
ΒΌ teaspoon Salt
1 stick cold Butter, cubed
2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons ice cold Water
For the Filling:
4 Plums - sliced (I used Santa Rosas). If you use berries instead, just omit the cinnamon.
2 tablespoons Corn Starch
Β½ teaspoon cinnamon
finely grated Lemon Zest
juice of Β½ Lemon
1 tablespoon Honey
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Prepare dough in a Food processor. Put all dry ingredients first, then add sliced cold butter. Start your food processor and pulse. Slowly add apple cider vinegar, and ice water. Mix until the dough comes together. Place dough into plastic bag, and refrigerate at least 30 min.
Meanwhile prepare the Filling.
Slice plums, and gently toss with corn starch, cinnamon, lemon zest, lemon juice and honey in a medium bowl.
On a baking sheet, roll dough on a piece of parchment paper into a roughly 12-inch disk. Place Plums in the center of dough, leaving about 3-inch border. Fold dough border over edge of plums. Drizzle more honey over fruit.
Bake for 30 minutes until crust is golden brown. Cool slightly or to room temperature.
Don't be shy to eat with a scoop of vanilla ice cream π
