Streusel mixture:
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
4 ounces unsalted butter
*butter pastry
Galette:
1 medium ripe pineapple, cored, peeled, -- cut into 1/4 " slices
1/4 cup strained warm apricot jam


Streusel: combine brown sugar and granulated sugar in a small bowl. Add
flour and mix to combine. Add butter and work in with fingertips until
mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate in airtight container until
ready to use.

Galette: preheat oven to 400. Cut pineapple slices in half and place on
paper towel to absorb juice. Arrange pineapple slices over pastry in
concentric circles, overlapping them slightly, leaving 1 inch border around
edge. Fold pastry edge over edges of pineapple slices all around the
galette. Sprinkle streusel over top. Bake 40-45 minutes or until crust is
golden brown. Remove from oven and brush warm apricot glaze over pineapple
slices and serve lukewarm cut into slices. *A store bought pie shell works
fine for this recipe or make your own pastry with flour and butter ( 2 cups
flour to 1 stick of butter). Use ice water until it make a pastry ball.
