Ingredients 

Galette Dough

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cold, cut into cubes
  • ¼ cup ice water

Filling

  • 2 cups cherries pitted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract

Topping

  • 1 egg beaten, for egg wash
  • 2 tablespoon sliced almonds

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and cold butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. In another bowl, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and almond extract. Set aside.
  5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Place the cherry mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go.
  7. Brush the dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Let cool before serving.
