Time 1h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
11 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons whole milk
4 cups fresh fruit, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries (apricots, peaches, pears, apples cutting larger fruits to size may also be used)
1/4 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
lemon zest or orange zest, about 1 teaspoon
3 tablespoons flour or 3 tablespoons quick-acting tapioca
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg (for the egg wash)
raw sugar or brown sugar, to top the crust

Steps:

  • In a stand mixer, combine dry ingredients for crust and stir to mix. On low speed, add butter until the flour is crumbly and the butter is the size of peas.
  • Mix egg yolk and milk together then add to flour mixture until just combined (about 15 seconds).
  • Remove the mixture from the bowl and put on a floured surface. Knead quickly until it just comes together. The dough will be dotted with butter spots throughout. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In the meantime, in a large bowl toss together ingredients for the fruit filling; set aside.
  • Remove pastry ball from refrigerator and place on a floured surface or a floured Silpat. (Just rolling between 2 pieces of plastic wrap may be easier.) Place the plastic wrap on top of the dough ball and proceed to roll out until approximately 12 inches across and 1/8 inch thick. Transfer crust to a baking sheet.
  • Ladle filling in the center, leaving a few inches of dough around the edges and pull over the free edges on top of the fruit filling leaving the center exposed. Brush the dough edges with egg wash and top with sugar in the raw or brown sugar.
  • Cook for 55 minutes or until crust is browned and the fruit is bubbling.

Categories     Apple     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups apples, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons (or more to taste) white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) prepared pie crust (e.g. Pillsbury)
1 tablespoon water (optional)
1 teaspoon white sugar (optional)
1 egg white (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Combine apples, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Place pie crust on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon apple mixture into the center of crust, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold crust over the edges of the apple mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until apples are tender and crust is golden, about 30 minutes.
  • If you want extra sparkle, brush the crust with a glaze of 1 egg white, 1 tablespoon water, and then sprinkle a teaspoon sugar over the crust and fruit.
  • Note: Substitute pears or peaches for the apples, if desired. A 1/2 cup of blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries can also be added.
  • Note: Apple pie spice can be substituted for the cinnamon, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fruits for a more flavorful galette: berries, stone fruits, apples, pears, etc.
  • If using frozen fruit, thaw it before using and pat it dry to remove excess moisture.
  • Don't overwork the dough, as this will make it tough. Mix the ingredients until they just come together, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. If the dough is too sticky, chill it for a few minutes before rolling.
  • Place the galette on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This will make it easy to transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • Bake the galette until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. The baking time will vary depending on the type of fruit used.
  • Let the galette cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the filling to set.

Conclusion:

Rustic fruit galettes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. With a simple dough and a variety of fruit fillings, there are endless possibilities for customization. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give this rustic fruit galette recipe a try.
