Cherry Galette

Recipe #242050 | 1 hour | 15 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: ms_bold

I discovered the ease of Blueberry Galette recently, and my non-baking self fell in love. When I was overloaded with sweet cherries, I had to find a galette recipe to use them. This is an adaptation of a recipe found at an online wine site. That recipe used a homemade crust, but I think that the part of the appeal of the galette for me, aside from satisfying my sweet tooth, is the ease of using the refrigerated ones.
