Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 2 pieces ripe pears, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Crust
  • 1 pieces pre-made pie crust
  • 1 piece egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • as needed amount Flour, for dusting

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced pears, fresh cranberries, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Gently toss to coat, ensuring all the fruits are well-seasoned. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. While the filling is resting, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pre-made pie crust to about a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Assembly
  1. Place the pear and cranberry filling in the center of the rolled-out dough. Leave about a 2-inch border around the edges, which will be folded over to create a lovely rustic look.
  2. Gently fold the edges of the pie crust over the filling, pleating it as you go.
Baking
  1. Brush the crust with the beaten egg.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruits are bubbly.
  3. Allow the galette to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Top Tips: You can substitute pears with apples or peaches. To prevent a soggy crust, add a thin layer of ground almonds or breadcrumbs before the filling. Make sure not to overfill the galette to prevent excess juices from spilling.
