Apricot Galette

A fresh and light apricot galette with an almond flour crust. It has a light lemony flavor and is quite addictive!

A strange childhood opinion of mine was that fruit was good, dessert was good, but not together. Well, things have changed! Doesn’t get much fresher than this no-fuss wholesome apricot galette. There’s an apricot orchard in my neighborhood that sells its apricots in June, so it’s something my family’s been looking forward to every year for nearly 15 years now. Put them to good use in this recipe that looks and sounds a lot more complicated that it is, even though it only took 30 min of actual work, no joke. If you don’t have apricots, you can use almost any fruit in place of the apricots! I’d suggest strawberries or peaches.

The Rundown

The crust is made with almond flour and coconut flour, which you usually wouldn’t expect for a galette crust! I was inspired by Felicia from @feliciasfabfoodz strawberry galette, which you can find here. It can easily be made vegan by replacing the butter with vegan butter.

And the filling is an easy microwave-made apricot jam with sliced apricots layered on top to look all pretty because we love a pretty galette. I topped it with my favorite Siggi’s Dairy icelandic skyr, which I put in the freezer 30 minutes before enjoying.
