Tart raspberries, sweet almond paste, crunchy almonds and buttery pie crust....what more can you ask for in a dessert? Oh yeah. It takes less than 10 minutes to put together before baking it.
This Galette recipe is SO EASY. I threw it together in just a matter of minutes one Sunday afternoon. Galettes are the best IMO.
You may also want to try this Strawberry Galette or this Salted Caramel Apple Galette - both are amazing and super easy to put together.

Why This Recipe Works
- Store bought pie crust makes this galette super quick and easy to make. If you prefer to make your own, try this Homemade Flaky Pie Crust Recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction.
- Brushing on an egg wash helps the crust get that beautiful golden brown color. Perfect for entertaining!
- The egg wash also helps the sliced almonds and sugar crystals stick to the pie crust.
- Almond paste can be rolled out like pie crust, making it easy to just set right inside the lines of the pie crust.
- Using a few dabs of butter before baking helps keep the berries moist and buttery.
Step By Step Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375F. See step-by-step instructions with photos below.
Combine the raspberries, lemon juice, and coconut sugar in a bowl and mix. Set aside. **If you're using frozen raspberries, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch in with the berries.
Unroll one pie crust and lay on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Roll the almond paste in a ball then roll it out flat to lay it over our pie crust (see below photo). Use a rolling pin to roll it out on a floured surface.
Place the raspberry mixture on top of the almond paste and fold up the edges like so:
Brush with the egg wash (beaten egg) and sprinkle the raw sugar crystals on top. Cover with sliced almonds and dab small pinches of butter over the raspberries. This helps to keep it from drying out.
Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing it.
Serve with fresh whipped cream, ice cream or drizzle with honey.
Expert Tips
- Be careful not to make any holes in the pie crust. Holes will cause the liquid from the raspberries to leak out.
- Frozen raspberries can be used in place of the fresh. Thaw them out completely and let them drain before using them.
- Let it cool for the full 30 minutes before slicing it. Otherwise the juice from the raspberries may leak out.
- You can substitute strawberries, blackberries, raspberries or a mixture of all of them!
- For an even lighter crust, substitute puff pastry for the pie crust.
You can also use the same premise above to make savory galettes. Try this Mushroom Galette, Tomato Galette, or this Spinach and Artichoke Galette.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I make galette ahead of time? The raspberry filling can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored, covered, in the fridge. When you're ready to make it, follow the recipe instructions. The galette can also be baked in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- How do you reheat a galette? Reheat in a 350 degree oven until warmed through (about 5-10 minutes).
- How long does a galette keep? A galette will keep stored in the fridge (covered) for up to 3 days. See below for freezing instructions.
- Can I freeze a galette? Place the fruit galette on a baking sheet directly in the freezer for 2-3 hours, until frozen through. Transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to 1 month for the best results. Place the frozen galette directly in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes to thaw and re-crisp the crust.

Galettes are one of my favorite summer recipes - we always make them with tomatoes but raspberry and almond sounds perfect!
Danielle
Love the idea of making them with tomatoes!
Lori
I don't see where you're supposed to use the 1 tbsp of butter.
Danielle
I apologize! I put it in the pictures, but never added it to the recipe card. The butter should be cut in little pieces and sprinkled over the raspberries once they are folded into the pie crust. I updated the recipe to include the instructions for the butter.

We love Galette's too. Pies with perfect lattice toppings are far too fussy for us. Would love a slice of yours with our morning cuppa. Well it has fruit, so that is kind of healthy, right? Sharing of course!
