Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 cups fresh plums, pitted and sliced Look for ripe plums that yield slightly when pressed.
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Crust
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces To encourage caramelization.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced plums, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Gently toss until the plums are well-coated. Set aside.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your premade pie crust into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter.
Assembly
  1. Transfer the crust to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon the plum mixture into the center, leaving about a 2-inch border.
  2. Fold the edges of the crust up over the filling, pleating it as you go.
  3. Brush the exposed crust with the beaten egg. Scatter small pieces of butter on top of the plums.
Baking
  1. Place the galette in the oven and bake for about 30–40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Serving
  1. Allow the galette to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
