Glazed Pear & Apple Galettes

Melt 2 TBSP butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pears, apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ½ tsp nutmeg. (Be sure to measure the nutmeg; we sent more.) Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 5-7 minutes. Remove pan from heat; stir in juice from half the lemon. Transfer fruit to a large bowl, spreading it up the sides of the bowl (this will help it cool faster). Place in refrigerator for 10 minutes.

While fruit cools, in a medium bowl, whisk together crème fraîche and maple syrup until smooth. Place in refrigerator until ready to serve.

In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine jam and 1 TBSP water. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until thickened slightly.

Once fruit has cooled slightly, line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Unroll pie crusts onto parchment (one crust per sheet). Place fruit in an even layer in the center of each crust, leaving a 1½-inch border around the edges. Using your fingers, fold edges toward fruit, creating pleats as you go. (It’s OK if it doesn’t look perfect—galettes are meant to be rustic!)

Bake galettes on top and middle racks for 20 minutes, then switch racks. Bake until fruit is tender and crusts are golden brown, 15-20 minutes more.
