Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries chopped)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crust & Topping
- 1 sheet store-bought pie dough or homemade, chilled
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of mixed berries, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Toss gently until all berries are evenly coated and set aside.
- Roll Out Dough: Place the pie dough sheet on the parchment paper. If necessary, use a rolling pin to gently shape it into a 12-inch circle to create a uniform crust for the galette.
- Assemble: Spoon the berry mixture into the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the berries, pleating as you go to create a rustic look, ensuring the center filling remains exposed. Beat the egg lightly and brush it over the dough crust for a shiny, golden finish.
- Finish & Bake: Sprinkle the crust edges with coarse sugar if desired for added texture and sweetness. Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the berries are bubbly and cooked through.
- Cool & Serve: Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes. This resting time allows the filling juices to thicken. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- Use a mix of fresh or frozen berries; if frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid to avoid soggy crust.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute pie dough with a gluten-free alternative.
- Adjust sugar amount based on the sweetness of your berries and personal preference.
- Brush the crust with milk instead of egg wash for a vegan option.
- Let the galette cool completely if you prefer a firmer filling before slicing.
