This Cherry galette<\/strong> is a simple, rustic dessert that's bursting with summer sweetness! Buttery crisp crust filled with juicy fresh cherries, this delicious galette is a breeze to make!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rustic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A galette is a free-form tart and one of my favorite ways to showcase fresh fruits. From apple galette<\/a> to plum galette<\/a>, I love to make them all. Why? Because you don\u2019t need a pie dish, fancy skills, or even perfection. Very rustic, galettes are not about picture-perfect aesthetics. You mix, roll, fill, and bake. The charm of a cherry galette is<\/em> in its imperfect, golden edges and the fruit bubbling through the folds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you're hosting a brunch or just want something lovely with your evening tea, the fresh cherry galette fits the bill beautifully.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n

Why You\u2019ll Love This Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2728Each bite has a perfect filling-to-crust ratio with sweet, jammy cherries nestled in a buttery, flaky crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2728Perfect for any time of the day! Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you\u2019ve got dessert sorted. Or enjoy a slice for breakfast with Vietnamese iced coffee.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2728Hate fiddling with pie crusts and lattices? Easy cherry galette is for you. Whether your galette crust ends up round, oval, or vaguely rectangular, it will<\/em> look charming and effortlessly elegant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2728Making crust is easier than you think. The buttery, tender galette crust is so much better than store-bought. Once you try it, you may never go back. Don\u2019t have the time? Make a cherry galette with puff pastry<\/a>. I tried a strawberry puff pastry tart<\/a>, and it was ready in under 30 minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2728This classic cherry galette is a summer favorite of mine. But the recipe is endlessly adaptable. You can fill it with stone fruits (do try peach and cherry galette), berries, or even create a savory version like tart cherries galette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cherry Galette Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Flour:<\/strong> All-purpose flour is the best for making a flaky, buttery crust for cherry galettes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar<\/strong>: Use powdered sugar for the crust batter and granulated sugar for the filling. You can use granulated sugar for both!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter:<\/strong> I used cold salted butter. Feel free to use unsalted. Simply increase the quantity of salt to 1\/2 teaspoon. For the flakiest crust, make sure the butter is chilled<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cherries: <\/strong>We\u2019re getting some really nice fresh cherries in the market, so I\u2019d 100% recommend them. Their flavor is unmatched! You can use frozen (thawed and drained) in a pinch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please see the recipe card for full information about ingredients and quantities.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Polenta<\/strong>: I like to sprinkle some on the rolled-out pastry. It\u2019s not for taste but rather to stop the crust from getting soggy. Don\u2019t have it? Sprinkle almond meal on the rolled-out galette crust before you add the cherry filling. Or just leave it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar<\/strong>: The sugar quantity depends on the sweetness of your cherries. Taste your fruit before baking and adjust accordingly. I use white sugar, but raw sugar or cane sugar will do the job just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flour: <\/strong>Whole wheat flour is a great substitute. For a gluten-free cherry galette, try buckwheat flour. I made an apple marzipan galette<\/a> with it, and it had the best nutty flavor and a tender texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make vegan cherry galette: <\/strong>Swap the butter in the pastry with chilled coconut oil or your favorite plant-based butter. Skip the egg wash, too. Use plant milk or cream instead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How to make a cherry galette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Crumbled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Rub the cold butter into the mixture, using your fingertips. When it resembles large, coarse breadcrumbs, add in the ice-cold water, a tablespoon at a time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Pastry<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Bring the dough together using your hands. Add an extra tablespoon or two of water to bind the dough, if needed. This will clump together in a ball easily. Bring it together in a disc. Flatten it a bit. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Cherries,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Toss together the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract in a bowl.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Rolled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a 10\" circle. Sprinkle the polenta on the rolled out dough, leaving a 2\" border around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Cherry<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> Arrange the cherries on top of the polenta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Edges<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 7:<\/strong> Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit to partially cover them. Brush the crust with egg wash and sprinkle some sugar for extra crunch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Baked<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 8:<\/strong> Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the juices are bubbling. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
