Description
Easier than pie, this strawberry galette with a buttery flaky crust and a sweet and tart strawberry filling is a beautiful treat to serve this berry season.
Ingredients
- 1 single 9-inch pie crust, homemade or store-bought
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Prepare a single batch of pie dough and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll it into a round 10-inch circle. If using a 9-inch store-bought pie crust, let it defrost for 20 minutes and roll it out slightly to 10-inches.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and cornstarch. Toss well to combine. Add the strawberry filling onto the center of the rolled out pie dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Fold up the edges over the filling, all the way around. Carefully transfer the galette onto a parchment-lined quarter sheet baking pan. Apply egg wash over the folded over edges and sprinkle with brown sugar.
- Bake for 25 minutes until the crust turns golden brown. Let rest for 15 minutes then slice and serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
How to store: Store any leftover galettes at room temperature, either wrapped in plastic cling wrap or inside an airtight container for up to 2 days. Be sure to let them cool down before wrapping. You can also store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container. The galette will become a little soggy the longer it is stored.
How to reheat: For the best results, reheat in a 300 F preheated oven or air fryer for 5-10 minutes until warmed through. You can also reheat in the microwave but the crust will not be as crispy.
