["Mix flour, salt, and sugar together in a bowl. Cut butter by hand or with fork until mixture resembles course meal. Sprinkle in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and toss with flour mixture until you can bring the dough together into a ball by hand. Press it into 2 disks, saran, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.", "Toast almonds. Grind sugar and almonds in food processor. Add remaining ingredients and mix until blended.", "Slice pears", "Lightly sprinkle surface with flour to prevent sticking. Roll out dough into a circular shape. Spread the apricot preserve onto the dough leaving a 1"" border. Spread the frangipane over the preserves and arrange the pears in a decorative fashion. Brush with eggwash or heavy cream (or both) on the rims; sprinkle wet dough with turbinado sugar and grate fresh nutmeg over the pears. Bake the galette for 40-45 minutes or until done at 350. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through until the crusts are browned. Right when it comes out of the oven, brush a bit more apricot preserve on the pears to make them glisten! Let cool before serving."]
