Air Fryer Toaster Oven
Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
3-4 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
4-5 fresh plums, pitted and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons granulated sugar (plus extra for sprinkling)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
For Assembly:
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Directions
Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, toss the plum slices with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit while you roll out the dough.
Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet that fits into your bella air fryer toaster oven.
Assemble the Galette: Arrange the plum slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating as you go. Brush the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a golden finish.
Bake in the Toaster Oven: Preheat your bella air fryer toaster oven to 375°F. Bake the galette for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Cool and Serve: Let the galette cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips for Success:
Ensure the butter is very cold for a flaky crust.
Use a combination of ripe and slightly firm plums for the best texture.
If the edges brown too quickly, tent them with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
