Fig, Pear & Frangipane Rye Galette

My memories of Passover desserts involve dry cakes, crumbly ladyfingers and ubiquitous boxes of macaroons- the chewy, coconut type, not the trendy french ones. As a kid, I kind of dreaded the whole holiday and by the end of the eight days, I was usually desperate for some sort of gluten. But as I got…
