Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/3 cup pecans
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
5 ounces cold cream cheese, cut into small pieces
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon ice water
3 ripe pears (such as Bosc or Anjou), peeled and cut into small chunks
1 1/2 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon grated orange zest (optional)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of kosher salt
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
  • Pulse the toasted pecans, flour, sugar and salt in a food processor until the nuts are finely chopped. Add the butter and pulse about 4 times to coat the flour. Pulse in the cream cheese until the dough looks like coarse crumbs and just holds together when pinched. Pulse in the egg and ice water just until the mixture is slightly moist. The dough will be crumbly; do not overwork it. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap and pat into a disk, using the plastic wrap to help you. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dust the top of the dough with flour and press and roll out into a 14-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to the baking sheet. (It's OK if the dough is larger than the baking sheet ¿ you'll fold in the edge.) Pinch together any cracks in the dough.
  • Make the filling: Toss the pears, cranberries, sugar, flour, orange zest, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, salt and butter in a large bowl. Spread the filling over the dough, mounding it slightly in the center and leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edge of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed. Brush the edge with water and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake until the filling is soft and bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 1 hour. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, at least 4 hours.

This galette was delicious! The crust was flaky and the filling was sweet and tart. I loved the combination of cranberries, pears, and pecans. This is a great recipe for a fall dessert.

This galette was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with more sugar in the filling. The crust was also a bit dry. Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay.

I'm not a baker, but this galette was easy to make and turned out great! The crust was flaky and the filling was delicious. I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and it worked out perfectly.

This galette was a bit of a disappointment. The crust was dry and the filling was bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had used fresh cranberries and pears instead of frozen.

I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but I thought this galette was pretty good. The crust was nice and flaky, and the filling was flavorful. I would have liked it even more if the cranberries had been a bit more tart.
