Ingredients
  

Crust:

  • 1 c/120g all-purpose flour
  • ½ c/60g whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp/25g granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp/2g baking powder
  • 6 tbsp/90ml vegetable oil*
  • ¼ tsp/1g salt
  • ¼ c/60ml water
  • Powdered sugar to serve

Filling:

  • 1 ½ lbs/680g apricots
  • 2 tsp/4g orange zest
  • 2 tbsp/25g brown sugar

Instructions
 

Crust:

  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in oil with two knives (use a cross angle) or a pastry blender. 
  • When the oil is in pea-size clumps, add water and cut in similarly until pastry is a shaggy mass. If the pastry isn’t coming together you can add more water 1 tbsp at a time.
  • Using your hands, form the pastry into one cohesive mass and flatten. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Preparing the apricot filling:

  • Wash and dry apricots. Cut into ¼” – ½”/6-12mm slices. 
  • Toss apricots with sugar and orange zest. Set in the fridge until ready to use.

Assembling the galette:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/175C. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry into a ¼”/6mm thick 18”/45cm circle.
  • As oil-based crusts are more delicate, it can be helpful to roll the pastry between two layers of parchment paper.
  • Use the rolling pin to transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Add the apricot mixture to the center 10”-12”/25-30cm of pastry. Flatten to an even layer.
  • Gently fold the edges of the pastry over the fruit so that 6 sides form. If the pastry is breaking, use the parchment to help you fold the edges over.
  • Return to the fridge to rest for another 15 minutes.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes until golden brown and filling is bubbling. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. 
  • Once cool, sift powdered sugar on to crust edges. Excellent served with coconut whipped cream.

Notes

*Olive oil is also good here, or part vegetable oil and part orange-flavored olive oil.
