This rustic berry galette is super easy to make, which is why I love galettes! No technical pie making skills required. The crust recipe is also versatile; you can use the recipe listed below, swap out the flour for a one-to-one gluten-free blend, or use a store-bought crust. The choice is yours! For a gluten-free version, I swap out all-purpose flour for
Cup4Cup’s Gluten-free flour blend
To make a galette, you simply roll out the pie crust dough to about 12 inches in diameter, then load the berries into the center and start folding in the sides to make the edges. It’s so super simple. Galettes are intended to have a rustic feel to them, so perfection is not needed with this dessert. I used to watch my mother and grandmother labor over intricate pie crusts, which always seemed impossible. When I started baking on my own I was introduced to galettes and now they’re my quick, go-to “pie” dessert. And look at those plump berries. Swoon! So juicy and full of summer flavors. Fresh berry season is upon us right now so what better way to enjoy than in a rustic berry galette chock-full of blueberries and blackberries.
Serve your rustic berry galette with vanilla ice cream and you’ll have a swoon-worthy dessert. I whipped this dessert up for a recent outdoor BBQ and it was the perfect addition. Memorial Day, 4th of July, summer BBQs, whatever the event may be, this galette will feed a crowd and you’ll look like a fancy baker, win-win, right?? Of course you can also enjoy this anytime of year if you have access to fresh berries. For the fall, I also have a gluten-free cinnamon apple galette recipe.
