Ingredients

1 half of a box refrigerated pie crust softened as directed on box (or, you know, use your grandmother's recipe or whatever)
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 c. cold butter cut into small bits
¼ cup chopped pecans
2 Tbsp. fig jam or any other type of jam
2 c. pitted and thinly sliced plums French prune style is best
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/8 c. pecan halves

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and unroll your pie crust on an ungreased baking sheet.
Mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Use a pastry blender or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/4 cup of the chopped pecans.
Spread the jam over the unrolled pie crust, leaving a one-inch border around the edge. Top with half of the crumb mixture.
Toss the plums with the vanilla extract, then arrange the slices on top of the pie crust, continuing to leave a one-inch margin around the edge.
Sprinkle with the remaining crumb mixture. Top with pecan halves. Fold in the pie crust edge to form the border, overlapping as you go.
Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Let the galette cool for 30 minutes.

Notes

To store your Plum and Pecan Galette, cover it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. You can freeze the galette for up to 2 months—just wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap before freezing.

To reheat, bake it in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes until warmed through and the crust is crisp again.
