One of the things I clearly inherited from my mom is a love for making and enjoying homemade desserts. All through childhood, I remember always looking forward to what fun surprise would follow dinner. From more elaborate creations, to a quick batch of cookies or homemade shakes (my dad’s specialty) — my family definitely loved to end a meal well. :)
Still, always being the health-nut, my mom was (and still is) great about trying to incorporate at least a little bit of nutrition into this tradition. So fruit cobblers, pies, and the like were always a favorite. And, all the better if the recipe is a snap to whip up!
Thus, I present to you our recipe for an uber-easy fruit galette. It will take your oven longer to heat up than to prepare this one. So gather up whatever leftover fruit is in your fridge, and put it to good use. And then smile and wipe your brow as everyone ooohs and ahhhs over the beautiful presentation that must have taken “forever” to prepare… :)
5-Minute Rustic Fruit Galette
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 1 tart 1x
Description
You will love this 5-miute rustic fruit galette, it tastes just like summer!
Ingredients
- 1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust
- 2 Tbsp. sugar, plus 1 tsp. for sprinkling on crust
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 – 3 cups of fresh fruit, cut into bite-sized pieces (I used strawberries, blueberries and a nectarine in this one
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Gently unfold and lay out pie crust on a baking sheet lined with parchment or on a baking stone.
- In a separate bowl, gently mix together the (sliced) fruit, sugar and cornstarch. Then pour into a strainer to release any extra juices. (Just baking this will release plenty!) Pour the mixture in the center of the unfolded pie crust leaving a 2-inch border. Fold up the uncovered border over the edge of the fruit and pinch into pleats. Then brush the egg onto the crust, and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
- Bake in preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Delish & SO easy. Been making these for years 😋
I’ve made this recipe 3 times already and everyone loves it! Today I’m making it for the 4th time. I did lower the oven to 350 and cooked about 45 minutes until the crust was nice and golden. Delicious and thanks for sharing! I plan on making this with many different fruit combos!
I needed a last minute dessert for company coming over, and I had all of these ingredients on hand. I used frozen bluelberries and frozen peaches, and it turned out great! It took a little longer to cook because of the frozen fruit, and it produced more juice, but I let it cool completely, and a lot of the juices firmed up. I will definitely be making this again, and I can’t wait to experiment with other fruit combos. Thank you for this yummy easy recipe!
Made it with fresh raspberries & peaches. Terrific!
