PISTACHIO PEAR FRANGIPANE GALETTE
makes 1 9.5in" galette | serves 6 | active time: 30 minutes | full time: 1.5 hours
there’s something about a galette that just feels effortlessly impressive—like the cooler, more laid-back cousin of a pie. and this pistachio pear frangipane galette? it’s the kind of dessert that looks like it came from a bakery window but tastes even better fresh from your own oven. buttery, flaky crust wrapped around tender pears layered over a rich pistachio frangipane… it’s cozy and elegant all at once.
the pears get soft and just caramelized enough, while the frangipane brings this nutty, almost creamy richness that plays so well with the delicate sweetness of the fruit. and our OG pistachio spread give it that extra something—more depth, more texture, and this warm, subtly earthy note that makes each bite feel kind of luxurious. it’s not fussy, it’s not overly sweet, and it’s 100% the kind of thing you pull out for a dinner party—or a tuesday night—when you want to treat yourself to something a little special.
