Easier to make than pie, this galette has a super rich and buttery rustic crust that is layered with perfectly spiced tender poached pears that melt in your mouth and some crunchy roasted walnuts to finish with!
💡 Expert Tip: Choose pears that are all about the same size and equal in ripeness for even cooking. The best pear choices are Bosc and Anjou.
Prepare the galette dough just by hand mixing all the ingredients together. Chill it in the fridge for at least one hour.

Prepare the poached pears. Place the cooked pears onto paper towels to soak up all the extra liquid. They need to be as "dry" as possible before adding them to the pie dough.
Roll the dough to form a circle. Sprinkle the pie dough with almond flour to prevent a soggy bottom.

Cut the pear halves into thin slices and place them on top of the dough. Place walnuts around the pears. Gently and tightly fold the edges of the dough over the filling. Apply a light egg wash on the crust.
Put the unbaked galette into the freezer to chill for about 15 minutes so it will better keep its shape. Then, bake it at 200 C / 392 F (no fan) for 30 minutes.
