Steps:
- Get everything ready so you're not scrambling (measure ingredients out, prep the ice water, cut the butter into 1/2 inch cubes, etc.).
- In a food processor, mix the flour, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the butter cubes and pulse until crumbs form. With food processor running on low speed, add the water and lemon juice through the spout on the lid. Stop processing once the dough just barely starts to clump together.
- Transfer the dough to a large piece of cling wrap. Form the dough into a disc shape and cover with the plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 45 min - 1 hour.
- When the dough is almost finished chilling, preheat the oven to 375F and move the rack to the bottom of the oven.
- Prepare the filling by combining the filling ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Dust a large piece of parchment paper with flour. Roll the dough out to a circle that's about 12" in diameter and 1/8" thick. Dough doesn't need to look perfect, and the edges will be ragged. Move the parchment paper with the dough on it onto a baking sheet.
- Spoon the filling onto the middle of the galette. Leave a few inches along the edges. Fold the edges over, just barely covering the fruit filling.
- Brush the edge of the galette with some water, and dust it (especially the edges) with the remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust starts to brown and the filling is nice and bubbly.
- Let it cool for 15 minutes prior to serving. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
RUSTIC CRANBERRY-PEAR GALETTE
Although now slightly tweaked, this recipe comes from the Jan 2003 cookbooklet Favorite Brand Name Recipes -- Holiday Desserts. Why it's called a 'galette' is beyond me since in France, I understand that refers to a type of cake, while in French Canada, I think it's more like a large cookie. What this recipe makes, for me, is more like an open, rustic pie! Whatever you call it, it is delicious!

Steps:
- Make the crust: Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
- Pulse the toasted pecans, flour, sugar and salt in a food processor until the nuts are finely chopped. Add the butter and pulse about 4 times to coat the flour. Pulse in the cream cheese until the dough looks like coarse crumbs and just holds together when pinched. Pulse in the egg and ice water just until the mixture is slightly moist. The dough will be crumbly; do not overwork it. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap and pat into a disk, using the plastic wrap to help you. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dust the top of the dough with flour and press and roll out into a 14-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to the baking sheet. (It's OK if the dough is larger than the baking sheet ¿ you'll fold in the edge.) Pinch together any cracks in the dough.
- Make the filling: Toss the pears, cranberries, sugar, flour, orange zest, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, salt and butter in a large bowl. Spread the filling over the dough, mounding it slightly in the center and leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edge of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed. Brush the edge with water and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake until the filling is soft and bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 1 hour. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, at least 4 hours.
PEAR CRANBERRY GALETTE
I used Bartlett pears for this juicy galette, but pretty much any variety will work, as long as they're not overly ripe.

Steps:
- Remove the pastry from the freezer and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Leave to thaw while you prepare the fruit, but don't keep it out of the freezer for too long. It's easiest to handle if it's cold and will thaw quickly. You just want it soft enough so that you can manipulate it.
- Soak the cranberries for 5 minutes in hot water. Drain and dry on paper towels. Toss the sliced pears with the lemon juice in a large bowl, then add the dried cranberries, honey, cinnamon and vanilla and gently toss together.
- Sprinkle the almond flour over the pastry, leaving a 2- to 3-inch border all around. Place the fruit on top. Fold the edges of the dough in over the fruit, pleating the edges as you work your way around the fruit to form a free-form tart that is roughly 9 inches in diameter. Place in the freezer on the baking sheet for 45 minutes to an hour. This helps the galette maintain its shape.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the galette from the freezer. Brush the exposed edge of the pastry with the egg wash. Sprinkle the sugar over the fruit and the crust. Place in the oven and bake 50 to 60 minutes, until the fruit is bubbly and the juice is running out and caramelizing on the parchment. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- For the pastry, place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and toss quickly with your fingers to coat each cube of butter with the flour. Pulse 12 to 15 times, or until the butter is the size of peas. With the motor running, add the 1/4 cup ice water all at once through the feed tube. Keep hitting the pulse button to combine, but stop the machine just before the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board and form into 2 disks. Wrap the disks with plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Roll each pastry disk into an 11-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer them to 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- For the filling, peel, core, and quarter the pears. Cut each quarter into big chunks. Toss the chunks with the orange zest. Divide the pear chunks between the pastries, covering the dough and leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cranberries over the top of each tart.
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and allspice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Pour into a bowl and rub it with your fingers until it starts holding together. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the two tarts. Gently fold the border of each tart over the pears, pleating it to make a circle.
- Bake the crostatas for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the pears are tender. Let the tarts cool for 5 minutes, then use 2 large spatulas to transfer them to wire racks.
PEAR CRANBERRY GALETTE
Very nice low calorie and fruit health dessert. Fancy enough for a formal dinner yet light enough for a brunch or seasonal dessert. With no added sugar and the fiber from the pears this is an excellent diabetic dessert as well.
