Ingredients
  • 3cups fresh fruit
  • 1/2cup granulated sugar
  • 4Tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2lemon juice
  • 1 eggbeaten
  • 1/8cup sanding sugar, coarse
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven with pizza stone inside to 400˚F.*
  2. In a bowl whisk together the sugar and corn starch.
  3. Cut your fruit of choice to large pieces (slices for stone fruits, halves of cherries, halved or quartered strawberries, etc.) and add to the bowl of sugar and starch. Squeeze half of a lemon over the fruit. Toss all ingredients to combine.
  4. Roll out the pie dough into a circle on top of a rectangle of parchment paper larger than the dough. Spread the fruit filling around the inside of the dough leaving a 2 inch perimeter of dough around the outside.
  5. Bring the dough in towards the center folding, overlapping, and pinching as needed to create a closed rim.
  6. Coat the outside of the dough with the beaten egg using a pastry brush. If you don’t have a pastry brush, you can fold up a paper towel and dip it in the egg and use that to dab all around the dough. Sprinkle generously with sanding sugar.
  7. Transfer to the pizza stone in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the dough is a rich golden color.
  8. Let cool to room temperature and serve with a scoop of good vanilla bean ice cream.
Recipe Notes

If you don’t have a pizza stone (you can get one here) you can use a sheet tray to bake your galette.
