Beautiful apricot cherry rustic tart, lightly flavored with vanilla and lemon zest, easy tender flaky crust!

What I look forward to most in the summer?

Galettes are so easy to make!

Apricot Cherry Galette

Elise Bauer

Much less fussy than pies.

The apricots and cherries are lightly sweetened, and tossed with a little vanilla and lemon zest.

Make a well in the center and add the sour cream.

Use a fork to work the flour into sour cream.

Form the dough into a ball and flatten into a disk.

Refrigerate for 1 hour before rolling out.

Put the apricots and cherries into separate bowls.

In the bowl with the apricots add the sugar, lemon zest, minute tapioca, and vanilla extract.

Gently toss to combine.

Roll out the dough and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet.

Dot with cherry halves.

Fold up the edges of the dough round over the outer edge of the fruit.

If at this point the dough has become sticky, put chill the pastry for 10 minutes before proceeding.

Sprinkle with a little coarse sugar.

The galette is done when the filling is bubbly and thickened, and the crust is nicely browned.
