Plum Almond Galette

One thing I love about galettes, is that it's so easy to make two, then you can take one to a party and keep one for yourself. I'm always looking for interesting ideas and found this plum version that sounded yummy. I made my usual healthier modifications, added the almonds and decided this is one of my favorite versions. The plums came from a friend's tree, and were perfectly sweet and tart.

Get the crust recipe from a previous post.

1 Tablespoon flour
1/2 cup finely ground almonds
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound plums (more or less), sliced into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
3 tablespoons organic cane sugar

Preheat oven to 375F. In a small bowl, combine flour, almonds, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Roll out the dough. Spread filling to cover middle of dough, then top with the fruit, leaving a ~2 inch border. Fold up the edges as pictured. Sprinkle the top with sugar. Bake until golden, about 25-35 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
