Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a rack in the middle.
  2. In a food processor, combine the almonds and 1/3 cup of sugar, processing until finely ground. Then add the egg, butter, almond extract, vanilla extract, salt, and flour, blending until smooth.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry to about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick and transfer it onto a prepared baking sheet.
  4. Fold the edges of the pastry over itself to create a border and prick the surface of the pastry with a fork.
  5. Spread the almond cream evenly within the border of the pastry. Arrange the halved apricots on top and sprinkle with sugar.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown, then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue baking for another 15–20 minutes.
  7. Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
