Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cherries (pitted and halved)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for sprinkling)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3–4 tbsp ice water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Preheat Oven: While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Cherry Filling: In another bowl, combine pitted cherries with sugar and vanilla extract.
- Roll Out Dough: On parchment paper, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle.
- Assemble Galette: Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon cherry filling into the center and fold edges over to create a border.
- Bake: Brush the crust with an egg wash (optional) and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
