Those people who make beautiful pies I envy you. With even crusts and golden color, seriously I’m not bitter but pie making is an art. But making a galette is easy!

Fresh baked galette with juicy blackberries and diced pears.

Making a galette will always be my way out of making a pie. Galette’s require no fuss and produce no drama, just crusty golden rustic looking slices. Keyword – “Rustic”

This leaves the door wide open as to how your finished galette will look. Slightly off on one side, rustic. A little cracked around the edges, rustic. See where I’m going with this?

I wonder how far we could go if we used that word for everyday stuff.

“Your hair looks a little crazy today” – “It’s rustic”

“You haven’t mowed your lawn for three months” – “It’s rustic”

“Umm, this boat has a hole in it” – “It’s rustic”

Sure, okaaayyyy!

Roll out that buttery pastry without a care in the world, and fill it with blackberries that always seem to be getting bigger. Giant blackberries are a thing now.

Add some pears and a sprinkle of fresh rosemary and you’ll realize why it’s perfectly okay to add herbs to a dessert.

Bake until golden and the first signs of bubbling fruit appear. Sometimes it leaks but remember, it’s rustic and leaking is okay.

Serve your masterpiece warm with vanilla ice cream, or even whipped cream with vanilla. Just make sure that cream and vanilla spend some time together, they like that.

You’ll end up with something that looks like this, and might end up eating half of it yourself (cough).
