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.

Why This Recipe Works

1. 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.
2. Brushing on an egg wash helps the crust get that beautiful golden brown color. Perfect for entertaining!
3. The egg wash also helps the sliced almonds and sugar crystals stick to the pie crust.
4. Almond paste can be rolled out like pie crust, making it easy to just set right inside the lines of the pie crust.
5. 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

1. Be careful not to make any holes in the pie crust. Holes will cause the liquid from the raspberries to leak out.
2. Frozen raspberries can be used in place of the fresh. Thaw them out completely and let them drain before using them.
3. Let it cool for the full 30 minutes before slicing it. Otherwise the juice from the raspberries may leak out.
4. You can substitute strawberries, blackberries, raspberries or a mixture of all of them!
5. 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

2. How do you reheat a galette? Reheat in a 350 degree oven until warmed through (about 5-10 minutes).
3. 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.

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.
