Ingredients

Buttery Flaky Galette Crust

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar (or 1 tablespoon powdered sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 pound cold unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1/4 cup Crisco
  • 1/3 cup ice water

Pumpkin Spice Filling

  • 16 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup pumpkin
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Buttery Flaky Galette Crust

  • In a large bowl combine flour, sugar and salt.
  • Cut 2 sticks butter into small chunks and add to the flour mixture. With your hands or a pastry cutter blend until butter chunks are the size of peas.
  • Add in Crisco and with your hands combine. It should resemble course crumbs. This mixture should remain dry and powdery.
  • Add ice water and mix dough with hands until combined. The dough should hold a loose ball and be more on the dry side. It should look rough.
  • Divide dough in half, press each half into a round flat disk, and wrap in plastic. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to a few days.

Pumpkin Spice Filling

  • Beat cream cheese on high until soft and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom and continue to beat.
  • Add in the pumpkin and blend, then add in the sugar and spices.
  • Roll the dough out to a 11 inch round(ish) circle. Add pumpkin filling to the middle leaving 1 1/2 to 2 inches of crust to fold over.
  • Sprinkles pecans over the top, then fold crust over. Brush with melted butter. So easy!! You can also try sugared pecans, yum!
  • Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 15 minutes. Then lower the oven temp to 350 and bake for about 20-25 more minutes until the crust is golden brown. You can cover the filling with tin foil if you need. Enjoy!!
