Apricot season calls for this Apricot Ricotta Galette with honey drizzle! It’s not only easy to make but also is taste like Summer. Made with a delicate crust, creamy ricotta, delicious apricots, and a drizzle of honey. Not overly sweet, just the way I like it, but so flavorful! If you want to feel extra summery, top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and devour!
I love the summer season and all the fruits available. I like to call apricots, the peaches’ little brother. They are similar to one another, but they have their own flavor and character. And although I love eating them just the way they are, I also like to incorporate them into different baking and cooking recipes. And to make things as easy as possible I created this Apricot Ricotta galette, which is super easy and quick to make.
Tips for making the perfect galette.
- What makes the crust so good and flaky is the addition of vinegar. Definitely don’t skip this step, it makes a big difference in the texture of the crust.
- Make sure the butter and water are very cold. This will also affect the texture of the crust.
- Try to mix the ingredients quickly so the butter doesn’t become soft.
- It’s ok if you have bigger chunks of butter, this creates the rustic flaky crust.
I really like to use honey as a sweetener, especially in this recipe. It pares perfectly with the apricots. The creamy ricotta adds another level of flavor and creaminess. So overall you need just a few ingredients and you can make this so simple but delicious Apricot Ricotta Galette.
If you like this recipe I can also suggest:
THE BEST CHERRY CLAFOUTIS – This custard type of dessert is another supper easy recipe that I love. And what’s really nice about it is that you can eat it cold. perfect for summer! I highly recommend.
HIBISCUS PANNA COTTA – Creamy, light, and slightly tart, you need to try it! It’s again very easy to make and just perfect!

Fold the edges.At this point you can transfer the galette to the fridge for about 10min before it goes in the oven.Before baking you can brush the folded edges with a bit of milk and sprinkle more sugar on top. Drizzle honey on top of the apricots. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-20min., depending on your oven (start checking after 12min). When ready, transfer to a plate, drizzle more honey on top, and add vanilla ice cream if you'd like. Enjoy.
