It is definitely apricot season, I mean they are everywhere I go. I love apricots, because fore me they say, “summer is coming” or rather summer is here. So needless to say that when Olga asked me to cooperate with here and take photos of these galette, I just couldn’t resist, and jumped on the opportunity.
What can I tell you, I don’t consider myself as a pie person. Having said that, this galette as presented a new crusty treat. The dough is a slight thinner and crispier than pies cr, and somehow it’s just mixes wonderfully with the apricots.
I do want to try and make this recipe a little healthier. But that will have to wait for a new a different post.
