Rustic Pear and Apple Galette

Rustic Pear and Apple Galette
(adapted from Apartment Therapy)
Crust

• 2 cups white flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 14 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/3-1/2 cup ice water

Fruit

• 2 large apples, peeled and cored
• 3-4 red pears, peeled and cored
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 teaspoon fresh cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon fresh coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar

Directions
Heat the oven to 425F. Pulse the flour, salt, sugar and butter in a food processor until crumbly. Slowly add the ice water just until it comes together in a dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the fruit.
Thinly slice the apples and pears and toss with the lemon juice, brown sugar, flour and spices. Take the dough out of the fridge and gently pat onto a lightly greased large round pizza pan, or rectangular baking sheet. This is rustic pastry - don't worry too much about the look of it! Lay the fruit out in overlapping circles or rows, then fold the pastry up around the edges. Dot with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Bake for about 50 minutes or until browned and crispy on the bottom. Cool to room temperature and serve with cinnamon whipped cream or caramel sauce.
