Transfer to a bowl and add the water. With your hands, mix until dough forms a ball. Divide into 4 mini-balls. Wrap in plastic and store either in the freezer (for long term storage, good for a couple of weeks) or in the refrigerator (for short-term storage, good for a couple of days). Chill for at least 30 minutes.

Roll out each ball of pastry dough to 1/8 inch thickness. It doesn't have to be perfectly round or pretty; that's the beauty of the galette - rustic simplicity! Transfer the dough to a baking sheet.

Cut apricots and arrange over the sugar layer. Fold dough up over the edge of the fruit, gathering as needed. Cover with foil and bake at 375u00b0F for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 5 minutes longer.

Remove from the oven and sift powdered sugar over the top of the galette while it is still hot; this will melt into a glaze.
