Rustic Rye Apricot & Cherry Gallette


Makes 1-2 inch gallette

Ingredients

1 cup dark rye flour
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1½ sticks unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 tablespoon apricot puree
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 cup ice water
10 apricots, sliced
1 cup cherries, pitted and halved
½ cup raw suconat sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Mix together the flours turbinado sugar and salt, cut in the butter with pastry cutter or fork until a course meal is created. Add the apricot puree, apple cider vinegar and mix. Adding the water a little at a time, slowly and gently combine mixture until a soft dough ball is formed. Place the dough ball in the refrigerator and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight. In a large bowl combine the apricots, cherries, sugar and lemon juice and let stand approx 30 minutes. Roll out dough on a floured surface until it forms a large circle about 16 inches in diameter. Place rolled dough on a large, thick, greased cookie sheet or pan with sides or, better yet, a large, greased cast iron pan. Place apricots and cherry mixture in a big pile in the center of the dough, reserving liquid. Fold dough up all around the pile of fruit leaving a big hole at the top like a shallow volcano. Pour a little of the liquid in the top and reserve a little for the end. Bake in a preheated oven 375° for about 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown and crispy. Drizzle finished tart with the remainder of the juice from the fruit in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
