This rustic Plum Extract‑Infused Plum Galette is a casual yet elegant dessert bursting with intense plum flavor—thanks to the dual use of fresh plums and plum flavor extract. A flaky, buttery crust embraces a richly spiced plum filling, elevated by plum extract for amplified depth and aroma. It’s the perfect balance of sweetness, tang, and texture—ideal for showcasing seasonal fruit or creating a standout dessert at gatherings.

Ingredients

    For the Dough:

    • 1 ½ cups all‑purpose flour
    • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • ¼ tsp salt
    • 3–4 tbsp ice water

    For the Filling:

    • 4–5 medium fresh plums, thinly sliced
    • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
    • 1 tsp cinnamon
    • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
    • ½ tsp plum flavor extract (add to filling for extra plum aroma)

    For Assembly:

    • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
    • 1 tbsp coarse sugar for sprinkling

    Directions

    1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, blend flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, just until dough holds together. Shape into a disk, wrap, and chill.

    2. Assemble the Galette: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a roughly 12-inch circle. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet. In a bowl, toss sliced plums with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and plum extract if using. Arrange plum mixture in the center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold border over plums, pleating as needed.

    3. Bake: Brush crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 35–40 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles.

    4. Cool & Serve: Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.
