Cherry Galette w. Frozen or Fresh Cherries

My mother makes scrumptious pies. Her daughter is scared to make pies. I can’t let you know why. A concern of not residing as much as the greatness? Possibly. Fortunately, nevertheless, galettes exist – quicker, simpler, a completely extra forgiving. This cherry galette is simply the newest of my many obsessions.

Cherry Galette

So what’s a galette? Principally it’s a pie crust with a fruit filling. You fold the perimeters up and over the fruit, bake it, and benefit from the heck out of it.

The main distinction, to me at the least, is that there isn’t as a lot filling as a pie, so the crust is extra of an element within the dessert than a pie.

Is that an issue? No! Most Galettes have sugar sprinkled excessive of the crust (as I do right here). You too can serve it with do-it-yourself whipped cream (sure, alcohol infused whipped cream can be a good suggestion), or ice cream.

However one of the best half is that it’s a country dessert. Pies normally look so excellent, I feel therefore my hesitation. Galettes embrace the damaged crusts, the uneven filling in bites, and many others.

Frozen Cherry Desserts

Okay. so a cherry galette can completely be made with recent cherries. In actual fact, give it a whirl. However whereas I drastically worth my cherry pitter (particularly with a kiddo at our desk)….I don’t wanna pit all of the cherries for this recipe. I’m lazy, I do know. So, I like utilizing frozen cherries (already pitted) – straightforward.

Candy Cherries vs Tart Cherries

So. there are principally two teams of cherries by way of taste – candy cherries and tart (or bitter) cherries. I ADORE bitter cherry jam, it’s the right tang combined with simply the correct amount of sugar, however for the sake of ease, I’d suggest candy cherries on this galette.

In case you take a look at the recipe, there’s not a lot sugar added, so we’re relying on the pure sweetness to hold the day. If you wish to use bitter cherries, you then’ll wish to in all probability up the sugar, or serve it with one thing sweeter/creamier.

Cherry Galette Crust Recipe

So, I don’t have a recipe for the pie crust beneath – for 2 causes. One, as talked about earlier than, I’m form of fearful of pie crusts, so I don’t have my very own go to recipe. My mother swears by the Crisco vegetable shortening recipe, which does style nice. But it surely’s created from soybean oil and something with soy in it provides me migraines.

Two. I feel pie crust recipes are like chocolate chip cookie recipes – all people has one of the best recipe, which is to say, you do you and I’ll do me. And if one of the best recipe for you is a store-bought crust, that’s TOTALLY FINE!

The large query is whether or not a shortening or a butter-based crust is greatest on this cherry galette. And the reply is that both is scrumptious!
