- 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
- 3 cups sliced ripe plums (about 4-5 medium)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)
- For the Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Gently unroll the pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, toss the sliced plums with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
- Arrange the plum mixture in the center of the pie crust, leaving a 2-inch border.
- Fold the border of the pie crust up and over the edges of the plums, pleating as needed to create a rustic edge.
- Brush the folded crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the plums are bubbly.
- While the galette is baking, prepare the glaze by gently warming the honey and stirring in the fresh thyme leaves.
- Once the galette is out of the oven, let it cool slightly, then drizzle the honey-thyme glaze over the plums.
Notes
- Ensure your plums are ripe but still firm for the best texture.
- You can use any type of plum you like, but a mix of varieties can add depth of flavor.
- If you don’t have turbinado sugar, regular granulated sugar works as well for sprinkling on the crust.
- This galette is best served warm, but leftovers can be stored at room temperature for a day or refrigerated for up to two days.
