Ingredients
Galette Dough and Filling
- 1 9" pie crust dough (refrigerated)
- 1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp sugar
Topping
- 1 cup cool whip (thawed from frozen)
- Fresh blueberries (for garnish, about 1/4 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it is hot enough to bake the galette to a golden, flaky perfection.
- Prepare Pie Dough: Unroll the refrigerated 9-inch pie crust dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, gently roll the dough out to a 13-inch diameter circle for a rustic edge.
- Assemble Galette: Place 1 and 1/2 cups of cherry pie filling in the center of the rolled-out dough, leaving a 3-inch border all around. Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pleating as needed to form a rustic edge while leaving the filling exposed in the center.
- Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the exposed dough edges with 1 tablespoon of milk to help it brown evenly during baking. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar over the brushed dough for a sweet, slightly crunchy crust.
- Bake Galette: Transfer the parchment paper with the galette onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve: Allow the galette to cool slightly. Serve warm topped with 1 cup of thawed cool whip and fresh blueberries for a luscious, fresh finish. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute fresh cherries for the pie filling if you prefer a fresher taste; just toss them with sugar and cornstarch before using.
- Using chilled pie dough ensures a flakier crust.
- Let the galette cool slightly before adding cool whip to prevent it from melting too quickly.
- This dessert can be served with vanilla ice cream as an alternative to cool whip.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
