Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons ice water
Filling
  • 2 cups fresh cherries pitted and halved
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 egg egg wash beaten

Method
 

Prepare the crust
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt. Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the filling
  1. In a separate bowl, combine pitted cherries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Toss to coat the cherries evenly.
Assemble the galette
  1. Preheat the oven to 375?F (190?C). On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle.
  2. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the cherry filling into the center, leaving a 2-inch border.
  3. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary. Brush the crust with the beaten egg.
Bake the galette
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  2. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
