Ingredients

For the galette

  • 1 package (445 g) frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 2 1/2 pounds (1200 g) dark plums pitted and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 3 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter cut into small bits
  • 1/3 cup (70 g) brown sugar to sprinkle on the plums and edges

For the almond filling

  • 3 tablespoons (25 g) ground almonds
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (25 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon rum or rum essence
  • 1/2 cup (150 g) apricot jam
  • 1 small egg for egg-wash
  • 1/2 cup (35 g) blanched sliced almonds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C / 355 F. Clean the plums, cut in half, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch wedges. Set aside.
    2 1/2 pounds (1200 g) dark plums
  • Prepare the almond paste. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the sugar with the ground almonds, flour and rum. Combine well with spatula. Set aside.
    3 tablespoons (25 g) ground almonds, 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar, 3 tablespoons (25 g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon rum
  • Roll out puff pastry into the shape of oval or circle (doesn't need to be precise here, it is artisan galette).  Spread the almond paste onto the whole puff pastry. Take the sliced plums and place them in a circular pattern, while leaving the edges of puff pastry free.

Run the egg-wash on the edges and sprinkle the edges with the remaining brown sugar. Place a few blanched and sliced almonds on the edge of the galette as well. Bake in preheated oven 180 C/ 355 F for 45 minutes.
