RUSTIC FRUIT GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Combine apples, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Place pie crust on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon apple mixture into the center of crust, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold crust over the edges of the apple mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until apples are tender and crust is golden, about 30 minutes.

SUMMER FRUIT GALETTES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Lay out one pie crust on a baking sheet lined with parchment or on a baking stone, leaving room for the second pie crust next to it.
• Mix together the sliced peaches with half the blueberries, 2 tablespoons of the flour and 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a bowl. Pour over one pie crust leaving a 1-inch border. Fold up the uncovered border over the edge of the fruit and pinch into pleats. Sprinkle the crust and fruit filling with 3 tablespoons of turbinado (or raw) sugar.
• Lay out the second pie crust on the baking sheet. Mix together the sliced strawberries, the rest of the blueberries, 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of sugar in the bowl. Pour over the second pie crust and form the galette the same as the first. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of turbinado sugar.
• Bake in preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Sprinkle with more sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PATE SUCREE FOR PIES AND GALETTES

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, add flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and process for approximately 10 seconds, or just until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. To mix by hand, combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender or two table knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• With the machine running, add ice water, drop by drop and slowly add egg yolks, until the dough just holds together without being wet or sticky; about 30 seconds. Test the dough at this point by squeezing a small amount together. If it is too crumbly, add a bit more water.
• Turn dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Grasping the ends of the plastic wrap with your hands, press dough into a flat circle with your fists. Wrap dough in the plastic and chill for at least an hour.

GALETTES SUCREES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a cookie sheet.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat 3 of the eggs with the sugar. Add the oil, flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon, then fold in the chopped nuts and fruit. Turn the dough out onto a floured board. Divide the dough into 2 pieces and form each piece into a roll about 14 inches long and 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide.
• Place the rolls on the cookie sheet, leaving 1-inch between them. Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the dough. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 20 minutes on the middle rack.
• Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes. Using a serrated knife, slice each roll into 3/4-inch pieces. Place the slices, cut side up, on the cookie sheet and return them to the oven for 15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.
