Apple-Pear Galette with Hazelnut Crumb Topping
This rustic fruit tart is fragrant with cinnamon, sugar and toasted hazelnuts.
Ingredients:
Farm & Larder galette dough, chilled
2 Gala apples
1 red d’Anjou pear
2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Hazelnut crumb topping (see below)

1 cup toasted hazelnuts, thoroughly cooled
â…” cup sugar
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
