Provided by Dorie Greenspan

Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons chilled nonhydrogenated solid vegetable shortening, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons (or more) ice water
3 medium Granny Smith apples (1 1/4 pounds total), peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
2 firm but ripe medium Anjou or Bartlett pears (about 18 ounces), peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 cup assorted moist plump dried fruit (such as raisins, cherries, and diced apricots)
7 tablespoons orange marmalade, divided
4 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Nonstick vegetable-oil spray
Vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • Mix flour, sugar, and salt in processor. Add butter and shortening; pulse until coarse meal forms. Add 2 tablespoons ice water; pulse until moist clumps form, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk and wrap in plastic. Chill 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before continuing.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix apples, pears, dried fruit, 3 tablespoons marmalade, 3 tablespoons sugar, fresh ginger, and ground ginger in large bowl to coat.
  • Roll crust out between 2 large sheets of waxed paper to 13-inch round. Place sheet of parchment on rimless baking sheet; spray parchment with nonstick spray. Remove top sheet of waxed paper from crust. Invert crust onto parchment, then peel off second sheet of waxed paper. Spoon filling onto crust, leaving 2-inch border around edges. Fold crust border up and over filling, folding and pleating occasionally.
  • Brush crust edges lightly with water. Sprinkle damp crust with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
  • Bake galette 50 minutes. Reduce heat to 400°F. Loosely cover filling with small sheet of foil.
  • Bake until crust is deep golden and filling is tender, about 20 minutes longer. Slide knife or offset spatula under galette to loosen from parchment. Cool galette slightly on sheet on rack.
  • Heat remaining 4 tablespoons marmalade and 1 tablespoon water in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until marmalade melts. Spoon marmalade glaze over filling.
  • Serve galette warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.

A whole pecan pie is a lot of work if you're just serving dessert to two or four people. Instead, make this elegant little galette studded with whiskey-soaked cranberries.

Categories     Dessert     Pecan     Cinnamon     Butter     Cranberry     Whiskey     Egg     Thanksgiving

Yield 2-4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the dough:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. pecan halves
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
5 Tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
For the filling and assembly:
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup whiskey or brandy
1 large egg
1/2 cup (packed) light or dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/8 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup pecan halves
All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Coarse or granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Whipped cream, ice cream, or crème fraîche (for serving)

Steps:

  • Make the dough:
  • Pulse flour, pecans, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor until pecans are finely ground. Add butter and pulse until sandy. With the motor running, slowly pour in 1 Tbsp. cold water, then pulse until dough starts to clump together. Form into a ball with your hands. Tightly wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
  • Make the filling and assemble:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring cranberries and whiskey to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat (or microwave in a small heatproof bowl). Remove from heat and let sit 10 minutes. Strain cranberries through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding (or drinking) the booze.
  • Whisk egg in a large bowl. Set aside about 1 tsp. beaten egg in a small bowl to use for brushing crust. Whisk brown sugar, butter, and salt into remaining egg in large bowl until smooth, then stir in cranberries and pecans.
  • Let dough sit at room temperature 10 minutes. Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface to an approximately 11" round. Don't worry if your circle isn't perfect or the edges are cracked-that's okay. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
  • Spoon filling onto center of dough, leaving a 2" border. Fold dough up and over filling, overlapping slightly and using parchment to help lift the dough. Brush dough with reserved egg wash, then sprinkle generously with coarse sugar. Chill for 10 minutes.
  • Bake galette until filling is puffed and set and crust is golden brown, 25-30 minutes. If some of the filling leaks out, don't worry-just trim that off before serving. Let galette cool slightly. Serve with whipped cream.
