Apple and Blackberry Galette
Apples, blackberries, and almond–this Apple and Blackberry Galette is easy to make and highlights the fresh sweetness and tartness of the fruit. The crust is made with part almond flour, making it extra tender so that it just about melts in the mouth. Yields 8-10 servings

Instructions
Almond and Cinnamon Single Pie Crust
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, cinnamon and sugar. Add in the cold cubed butter and toss in flour to coat. Using your finger tips, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until you’re left with pea sized pieces. In a measuring cup, stir together the water, ice, apple cider vinegar, and vodka. Add this wet mix to the bowl 1/2 Tbsp at a time. Using a butter knife or your fingers, stir until large clumps begin to form, slowly adding more water as needed–this dough doesn’t need much more than 1-2 Tbsp though so be careful not to add too much. Using your hand, bring the dough together into a ball. Gently give the dough a couple of kneads (it’ll be super soft and tender thanks to the almond flour which also allows it to be worked a little bit more than usual). Once the dough is brought together, form it into a flat disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin, press down on the dough until it is tightly sealed in the plastic. Chill for an hour.
Apple and Blackberry Filling
  1. Wash and scrub the outside of the apples. Slice thinly with the skin on and place the slices in a large bowl. Wash and drain the blackberries then add to the bowl with the apple slices. Add the lemon juice, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, salt, and vanilla extract. Toss to coat the apples and blackberries. Set aside.

  1. Make sure an oven rack is placed in the center of the oven, and preheat to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Remove the chilled dough from the fridge. Generously flour your work surface and the top of the dough. Roll the dough out until you have a circle about 12 inches in diameter and 3mm high. Gently roll the dough onto the rolling pin and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. The dough will be tender and it may begin to fall apart as you transfer it. This dough is super forgiving and you can patch it up as needed either using an extra piece of dough from the outside to fill in a space, or just using your finger to seal any cracks. Chill the rolled out dough for another 30 minutes.
  3. Once the dough has chilled, I like to layer 1 Tbsp of sliced almonds at the bottom of the filling to act as a sort of barrier from the moisture. This step is completely optional.
  4. Using a slotted spoon, scoop the apple and blackberry filling onto the center of the dough. You’ll want to leave about 1.5 inches-2 inches around the side to fold up and hold all the filling in. Be careful not to pile it too high–you want the dough to be able to hold it all in (depending on how large your apples are and how many you use, you might have some extra filling). If using the almonds, sprinkle the remaining Tbsp over the top of the fruit. Gently fold the edges of the crust over onto the fruit. Be careful not to form any cracks–if you do, gently pinch the pastry to seal them up.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush over the top of the pastry. Sprinkle with raw sugar.
  6. Bake 20-25 minutes. Cover with foil to stop the top from browning and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the tray. Slice and serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
