As summer slips into autumn, these individual free-form cherry galettes offer just the right balance—crisp, buttery pastry folded around pools of bright Bonne Maman® Cherry Pie Filling. Easy, satisfying, and made for cooler days ahead, they’re the kind of bake that feels like a soft landing into the season.
Mini Cherry Galettes
Makes 8 galettes
Ingredients
- 3 cups (375 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons (6 grams) kosher salt
- 1 cup (227 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ½ cup (120 grams) ice water, plus more as needed
- 1 (21.1-ounce) jar (600 grams) Bonne Maman® Cherry Pie Filling
- 1 large egg (50 grams)
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) water, divided
- Sparkling sugar, for topping
- ½ cup (60 grams) confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- In the work bowl of a food processor, pulse flour and salt until combined. Add cold butter, and pulse until mixture is crumbly and butter pieces are pea-size. With processor running, add ½ cup (120 grams) ice water in a slow, steady stream just until dough comes together. (Mixture may appear crumbly but should be moist and hold together when pinched.) Add more ice water 1 tablespoon at a time as needed.
- Turn out dough, and divide in half. Shape each half into a rectangle. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
- Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough into a 13-inch square (about ⅛ inch thick). Cut 4 (6-inch) rounds from dough, and place on 1 prepared pan. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Spoon ⅓ cup (70 grams) Bonne Maman® Cherry Pie Filling into center of each round, leaving a 1½-inch border around edges. Fold and crimp border over filling. Freeze until firm, at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water; brush onto edges of dough. Sprinkle with sparkling sugar as desired.
- Bake, one pan at a time, for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400°F (200°C), and bake until crust is golden and filling just begins to bubble, 5 to 7 minutes more. Let cool on pan for at least 15 minutes.
- In another small bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water; drizzle onto galettes. Serve warm, or remove from pans and let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
PRO TIP: Be sure to return your oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) between baking each pan of galettes.
