Fresh Cherry Galette

Recipe Description

I rarely make desserts because they take so much time but this Fresh Cherry Galette recipe is an exception I love to make. I save time by using store bought pie dough to make the galette. It is so easy and I don’t worry about the shape – I just let the dough do its thing!

To make this, I first prepare the galette by cutting the rolled dough into a circle. Then I mix the cherries with sugar, lemon rind and juice to make the filling. I use sweet cherries like Rainier cherries for this galette. If you choose to use more tart or bitter cherries add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the cherry filling.

To make Fresh Cherry Galette, you will need the following ingredients:

Hice esta galette de cereza fresca el fin de semana y fue un exito en casa. Mi esposa y yo recordamos cuando haciamos postres juntos. ¡Usar masa de pie comprada me ahorró tanto tiempo! El sabor era increíble y el aspecto rustico es perfecto. Definitivamente lo repetiré.
