This plum dessert as a sweet plum filling wrapped up in a buttery and flaky crust that's brushed with honey and topped with almonds. I love the combination of sweet honey, toasted almonds, and lightly sweetened plums. If you love this stone fruit, you will love this plum dessert!

Serve this with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of my Homemade Organic Whipped Cream! If you're planning a summer dinner party, I love serving this as a dessert after a dinner of Chili Lime Ahi Fish Tacos, Real Simple Corn Salad, and Organic Pink Lemonade!

Ingredients

Butter: I use organic salted butter, but cold unsalted butter works too and you can add 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Just make sure your butter is cold straight from the fridge for the best flaky pie crust. Also, be sure to check out my post Best Salted Butter for Baking for my top picks for pie crust.
Plums: I use fresh plums, just be sure to remove pits. I do not peel them.
Honey: I use organic raw honey for the pie wash in place of eggs. It also gives this a golden brown galette finish that is so tasty as it has a subtle sweetness.
Cinnamon: Organic cinnamon gives this a little depth of flavor.
Cornstarch: I use organic cornstarch in the filling. The ensures that the sugars solidify in the oven while baking and prevents a soggy crust as well as prevents fruit juices from running out when sliced.
Almonds: I use organic sliced almonds for the crust. If you don't have sliced almonds, you can also just roughly chop almonds. This is optional, so if you don't have these, you can skip this step as well.

Baker's Tips

Make sure your butter is cold, this is key for flaky pie crust. If you're new to making pie, check out How to Make Pie Crust in a Mixer for more tips and tricks.
If you don't have plums, you can also make this with peaches or apricots too.
This is a great dessert to make in advance as it really does need to have time for the filling to set. So, if you want to make a day in advance, that's okay. Just store in a cool, dry place.
This is amazing with a scoop of ice cream on top! Try it with my Salted Caramel No Churn Ice Cream.
High Altitude — Bake at 400°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

How to Make a Honey Almond Plum Galette Without Eggs

woman chopping butter in small pieces on a wood cutting board in the kitchen counter.

To make the crust: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour and cane sugar. Remove butter from the fridge and chop into small cubes, the smaller your cubes are the flakier your crust. I recommend at least cutting the sticks of butter into 4 and then chop into small cubes from there.

Honey Almond Plum Galette without Eggs FAQ's

What is the difference between a galette and a pie?

The only difference between a galette and a pie is the pie pan. A galette is made with the same kind of pie crust you'd use for pie, but it's baked flat on a baking sheet instead of on a pan.

Do I need to make the pie crust in a mixer?

Absolutely not! You can definitely use a bowl and your hands! If you have a pastry cutter, you can use that to cut the butter into the flour. Otherwise, just use your hands and smoosh it together until it looks like wet sand, then add in your water. Don’t use a hand mixer. For more tips on how to make pie crust, check out How to Make Pie Crust in a Mixer.

How do you make a golden galette without egg wash?

I use a 1:1 mixture of honey and water. This is my signature pie wash that I use whenever I want a golden, brown and flaky pie crust without eggs.

Why do honey and plums pair so well together?

The subtle sweetness of honey pairs so well with the rich and slightly tart plums because both ingredients share fruity and floral notes. Combining them together also creates a complex flavor that pairs so well with the buttery and toasted almonds.

How do I know when plums are ripe enough for baking?

You want plums to be the same ripeness that they are for eating so you get a sweet flavor. Or, they can even be a little more ripe. If you have some plus that are a bit soft, which may not be ideal for eating, they are still great for baking as the fruit gets baked and cooked anyways, so that texture doesn't matter much for baking a pie like this, but the sweet flavor is still there.

Can I use frozen plums?

Yes, you can. But, you just need to thaw frozen plums in the fridge for 24 hours and then strain off excess liquid before using them in this galette. So, if you plan to use frozen, just remove plums from the freezer the day before when you make the pie crust.

Can I use other stone fruits instead of plums?

Yes, you can use this recipe for any stone fruits you have. Peaches, nectarines, apricots, cherries, or even pluots will work here.

How do I keep a plum galette from getting soggy?

The cornstarch and flour in the filling will help solidify and bind the fruit juices and sugars together, so this is key, don't skip it! Also, be sure to let the galette cool completely before slicing, this is also essential to let the filling and crust set completely and prevent it from running out of the pie.

How should I store this Honey Almond Plum Galette without eggs?

Extra should be stored in a cool dry place. On a plate on the counter is really the best option! You don’t want to store this in a cake dome or in a Tupperware as the crust will become soggy.

How do you reheat a plum galette?

You should reheat this in your oven, toaster oven, or air fryer (on bake) and the crust will crisp up just like it was fresh baked! Don’t use the microwave as will make it soggy!
