What is a Galette?
A galette is a free-form tart that originated in France. It's made with a flaky pastry crust and filled with various fruits or savory ingredients. The beauty of a galette lies in its rustic appearance, with the edges of the crust folded over the filling, creating a charming, imperfect shape. It's perfectly imperfect!
Using Store-Bought Pie Crust
When it comes to baking delicious desserts, sometimes we just don't have time to make everything from scratch. There is nothing wrong with shortcuts, especially when flavor isn't compromised. That's where store-bought pie crusts come in handy. With a pre-made crust, you can create this easy rustic raspberry galette that will taste like you spent hours making it, when in fact it only took minutes.
How to Make a Raspberry Galette
You will need the following ingredients:
- 1 store-bought pie crust
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream
Follow these easy instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, gently toss the raspberries with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- Unroll the store-bought pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the raspberry mixture in the center of the pie crust, leaving a border of about 2 inches.
- Gently fold the edges of the pie crust over the filling, creating pleats as you go. The center of the galette will remain open.
- Brush the folded edges of the crust with the beaten egg wash. This will give the galette a beautiful golden color when baked.
- Bake the galette in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the raspberries are bubbling.
- Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
- Transfer the galette to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can dust the galette with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Cut the galette into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Serving and Storage:
A rustic raspberry galette is tastes best warm or at room temperature. Serve it as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a contrast of flavors. If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the galette in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
