Fall Dessert Recipe: Spiced Pear Galette

Today’s Special: Spiced Pear and Thyme Galette

As the weather starts to cool down and the leaves change color, I find myself craving warm, comforting desserts that really embrace the flavors of fall. That’s why I’m excited to share this unique recipe for a Spiced Pear and Thyme Galette with you today. The combination of sweet pears, warm spices, and earthy thyme creates a truly special dessert that is perfect for this time of year.

Ingredients:

• puff pastry (200g)
• pears, thinly sliced (400g)
• brown sugar (50g)
• ground cinnamon (1 tsp)
• ground nutmeg (1/2 tsp)
• fresh thyme leaves (1 tbsp)
• lemon juice (1 tbsp)
• egg, beaten (1)

Kitchen Tools:

• rolling pin
• baking sheet
• pastry brush

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the puff pastry into a circle on a lightly floured surface. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, and lemon juice. Spread this mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.

Arrange the sliced pears on top of the sugar mixture in a circular pattern, overlapping slightly. Fold the edges of the pastry over the pears, creating a rustic crust. Brush the crust with the beaten egg to help it brown in the oven.

Place the galette on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the pears are tender. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

This Spiced Pear and Thyme Galette weighs approximately 700g once cooked. It serves 6 people, with each serving weighing around 120g. Each serving is estimated to be around 250 calories.

Unique Tip:

For an extra special touch, try serving this galette with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The creamy element pairs perfectly with the warm spices and sweet pears, taking this dessert to the next level.

I hope you give this Spiced Pear and Thyme Galette a try and enjoy the flavors of fall in a whole new way. Feel free to experiment with different fruit and spice combinations to make this recipe your own!
