Sweet Cherry Galette
Our favorite way to use summer cherries before they're gone. This sweet cherry galette is buttery crust and juicy fruit without the fuss of traditional pie.
Ingredients
- one pie crust store-bought or homemade
- 3 - 3 1/2 cups sweet cherries pitted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar plus more for sprinkling
- 1 Tbsp tapioca flour or cornstarch
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 egg beaten
- lightly whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the cherries, sugar, tapioca flour, and lime juice.
- Heat oven to 400°. Gently roll pie crust out and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon filling onto the pie crust. Leave a border of about 2 to 3 inches.
- Fold the dough border over the cherries, pleating the edges gently and Leave the center open. Brush the crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden and the juices inside are bubbling. Cool for 20-30 minutes on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature with lightly whipped cream.
Notes
Galette can be served warm or at room temperature. We recommend topping with lightly whipped cream, but vanilla ice cream or gelato would be delicious here, too. Galette can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for a few days or up to a week in the refrigerator. Make when cherries are at their peak in the summer months with July being peak season. Perfect for backyard cookouts, 4th of July celebrations, or any summer party that needs an easy and elevated dessert!
