Description

This easy vegan plum galette is light, fruit-forward, whole grain & low in sugar. No fussy crust—just pile on the fruit! Works with any seasonal fruit.

Ingredients

Scale

Galette Dough:

Plum Filling:

  • 3 pounds ripe plums, unpeeled, thinly sliced (about 1 quart)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Topping:

Instructions

  1. To make the dough, place the all-purpose flour and white whole wheat flour in a mixing bowl. Add brown sugar and salt. Blend with a fork or pastry blender until dry ingredients are well combined. (If desired, you can use an electric mixer.) 
  2. Add the chilled, cubed vegan butter and mix with pastry blender or electric mixer until dough becomes crumbly.
  3. Sprinkle evenly with ice water and mix again for 1-2 minutes (do not overmix) until it creates a smooth dough that pulls away from the sides of bowl.
  4. Divide bowl into two equal round balls and place them in the refrigerator to rest for 30 minutes. 
  5. Meanwhile, prepare plum filling. Add sliced plums to a medium mixing bowl.
  6. Mix the brown sugar, corn starch, cinnamon into the plums, and stir well. 
  7. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Place a square section (about 9 inches) of parchment paper on the counter, and place one dough ball in the center of the paper. Roll out the dough with a floured rolling pin in a rough circle shape, until dough is thin and creates an approximately 8-inch circle. (Note: the circle doesn’t have to be perfectly round! The rustic quality of this dessert means you want some rough edges.) Repeat with the second dough ball.
  8. Preheat oven to 400 F (205 C).
  9. Place the dough circles on parchment paper on a baking sheet. 
  10. Divide the plum filling among the two dough circles. Spoon the plum filling over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border along the outside of the dough circle. If there is juice from the plums left in the bowl, do not use it. Fold over the 1-inch border of the dough towards the center of each galette to create an irregularly shaped rim. Repeat with the second dough circle.
  11. Sprinkle the galettes evenly with toppings: almonds, brown sugar, and cinnamon. 
  12. Place the filled crusts with plum filling in the oven on the top rack and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. 
  13. Remove, slice each galette into 4 slices, and serve immediately. 

Notes

Alternatively, you can make one large galette with this recipe by rolling the dough in step 10 into one large circle or oval shape (about 14-16 inches in diameter). Use all of the plum filling and toppings on one galette, instead of dividing them among two. 

Make this recipe gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend instead of the all-purpose and white whole wheat flour. 

This recipe is excellent with sliced apples, pears, berries, peaches, apricots, and nectarines. You can use drained frozen (thawed) or canned fruit, as well.
