Why You'll Love this Berry Galette Recipe

Galettes are so much easier than a pie. No offense to pies, but you have to be careful with the edges and rim - they look a little messy if they aren't perfect. And with galettes, the messier the better - just call it rustic and move on.

This galette combines cherries and blueberries for a sweet and delicious dessert.

I used frozen berries because fresh berries are only really good in the summer. I'm a big proponent of frozen ones because they're picked at the height of their growing season and are cheaper than buying out of season berries. 


Ingredients for this Cherry Blueberry Galette

  • 1 pie crust
  • 2 cups dark sweet cherries, frozen or fresh
  • 1 cup blueberries, frozen or fresh 
  • ⅓ cup cane sugar
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • zest of one lemon
  • 1 egg

How to Make this Blueberry Cherry Galette

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). 
  • Combine cherries, blueberries, sugar, flour, and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. 
  • Roll out pie crust to a 12-inch round. Put dough on top of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. 
  • Mound cherries and blueberries in the center of the pie crust, leaving 2 inches of border. 
  • Fold edges up over and slightly overlap dough on itself. 
  • Beat egg in a small bowl and brush on dough edges. 
  • Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. 
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting.

My wife made a similar galette with fresh blueberries and a combination of dark and Ranier cherries when the latter were in season. It was de-lish. Galette's have become a go to desert for us for all the reasons Emily cites in the post. Rustic goodness at it's best.
