Fruit Galette

Saturday, July 17, 2021
This is a buttery single crust, free-form pie with a fruit filling and the crust folded partway over the top of the filling, French in origin called a galette.

This is an old-style open-faced pie using buttery pie crust with fresh summer fruits.

Typically a seasonal fruit dessert to include one or more additions of fruits; apple, berries such as strawberries or blueberries, pineapple, or stone fruits such as peaches, plums, mango, or cherries, or even figs.

We use the best of the season ripe cherries and peaches, all baked in this delicious butter crust.

The medley of fruits is a family favorite galette using bing fresh cherries, peaches, blueberries but the suggestions and combinations can be endless.

Each pie can always be a different kind and perfect making it in a muffin tin to satisfy everyone's favorite.

Easy Pie Recipe



If you're in a big hurry of course you can just use store-bought pie filling and a refrigerator package of pie crust, no worries.


This pie crust is delicious and taking advantage of summer and falls bountiful fruits are always a dessert treat so if you have the time, give this recipe a try.


I love making this style open style pie, it's so simple.


Whether you use a pie plate large style or mini pies for a dinner party assortment, they are always a hit and shouts freshness with the use of fresh fruits.


Also, if you hate messy cleanups, be sure to add a piece of foil or parchment paper under your cobblers to catch the bubbling over juices!

Tips


  • If using frozen fruits thaw them first and drain
  • Use a deep dish pan
  • Always bake this on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil
  • Using ripe fresh fruits always is the best choice
  • Always preheat the oven first to 375 degrees
  • The filling should not be like pudding but a thinner consistency, it will get thicker when baking in the oven
  • Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator
  • Do not stir berries too much or they will all break, just fold in the fruit
  • These can be frozen raw and then baked from the freezer
