Perfect rustic galette using summer;s finest fruits. Easy, flavorful, tasty, with a wonderful crust that never fails. This recipe is a keeper!

Ingredients

Scale

For the filling

  • 2 cups (500g) cherries, washed and pitted
  • 1 lemon (juice + zest)
  • 1 orange zest
  • 3–4 Tablespoons granulated brown sugar

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cup (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 Tablespoons (45g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) ice water, plus more as needed

For brushing:

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup (40g) slivered almonds
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. For the filling: in a large bowl, mix the pitted cherries together with sugar, fresh lemon juice and zest, and fresh orange zest. Toss well to coat the fruits and set aside.
  2. For the crust: in a medium bowl, whisk the flour, sugar and salt together. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs. Add ice cold water, and gently knead the dough a few times in the bowl until it all comes together. Shape the dough into a ball and flatten it into a thick disk. Wrap it in plastic bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the oven to 425°F (200°C), and line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Trim the rim of the circle if needed, in order to make a clean cut. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Spoon the fruits (not the juice, this to prevent the dough from becoming soggy) into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-3 inch border all around. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the fruits, overlapping the dough as necessary. Press gently to seal the edges.
  6. Brush the crust with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with slivered almonds and sugar on top. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
  7. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
