Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pie crust
- 1 pound pears, Bosc; approximately 2 pears
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ⅓ cup (67g) packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons salted caramel, plus more for garnish
- Egg Wash, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then set aside.
- Slice the pears very thin and toss them in a bowl with lemon juice. Add the sugar mixture and coat the pears evenly.
- Roll out the pie crust on parchment paper or a silicone baking mat into a 12-inch circle.
- Place the pears (drained of excess juices) in the middle of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border, and drizzle with caramel.
- Gently fold the edges of the crust over the pears, overlapping them as needed, and brush with egg wash.
- Bake for 28-32 minutes or until the galette is golden brown. Allow to cool to room temperature and drizzle with more caramel before serving.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Notes
Make sure to slice the pears thinly for even cooking.
You can add nuts for extra texture if desired.
