364. This my friends is a beautiful fresh Pear and Raspberry Almond Crostata or Galette as the Italians might call it. Seems a Crostata and Galette are the same only one is French and the other Italian. It is simply a free-form open face pie with dough edges that fold up around the filling. It can be both savory or sweet.
With fresh pears and red raspberries as a perfect combination, this recipe came together fairly easy. I made half a pie crust with spelt flour, cut in half and then in slices 2 pears and one small container of the little red beauties. I also used 1/4 cup of almond paste cut up.
This delightful dessert came together quickly and was very satisfying. The almond paste gave an added depth of flavor.
