Corn meal påte brisée 
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal (finely ground if possible)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 sticks cold butter
  • 1/2 c cold water

Filling for 2 Galettes:
  • 6 thinly sliced apples
  • 3 cups raspberries
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • juice of one lemon
  • 3 tablespoons corn starch (despite my harsh feelings for the stuff)
  • 1/2 cup chopped almonds
  • 4-6 tablespoons white nectarine sauce 

A little beaten egg (or milk) and sugar for the top. 

Put flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar and butter in a food processor, pulse until the butter is pea sized. Add the water until it starts to come together. Put this on a counter, divide it in two. Roll each ball of dough out into a large 12-14 inch round and refrigerate for an hour. 

Preheat over to 375 °F 
Mix apples, sugar, lemon juice, corn starch and almonds in a bowl, once this is mixed add the raspberries and lightly mix. I of course used raspberries from Heidi's Raspberry Farm you pick. That's my mom, the u-picks at her field are one of my favorite parts of summer! 

Spread two or three tablespoons of jam in the center of each dough round. I used Urban Orchards White Apricot Sauce. On a cookie sheet with parchment paper put the fruit sugar mixture in the center of each round, leaving a couple inches of dough around the edge. Fold the edge of dough up around the fruit so it holds it in a bit. Brush the edge with egg or milk and sprinkle with sugar. 

Pop this in the over for about an hour, until it is golden and the juices are bubbling!

    It seems incomplete to have a web-site about what I'm doing creatively and leave out the food bit. With the few hours we have in a day, most of my creative energy goes into cooking and all that surrounds it.
