Ingredients:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4-5 ripe plums, pitted and sliced

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sugar, and salt. Add the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
6. Spread the almond cream over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Arrange the sliced plums on top of the almond cream.
7. Fold the edges of the dough over the plums, pleating as necessary. Brush the edges of the dough with egg wash.
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the plums are tender.
9. Let the galette cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
