To make the crust, start by combining the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add in the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add in the cold water and mix until the dough comes together.
Roll the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the filling by combining the sliced fruit, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface into a circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Place the rolled-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the fruit filling in the center of the dough, leaving about 2 inches of dough around the edge. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go.
Brush the beaten egg over the exposed crust, then sprinkle with a bit of sugar for a golden, crispy crust.
Bake the galette for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
And there you have it - a delicious and festive Christmas galette that will impress your loved ones. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat. Happy baking!
