Ingredients

▢ 2 full pie crust dough discs well-chilled and ready to roll
▢ 3 cups mixed fruit or berries washed, dried and cut into small pieces
▢ 1 ¼ tablespoons cornstarch for thickening the juices
▢ 2 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar adjust to fruit sweetness
▢ 1 ¼ teaspoons lemon juice or vanilla extract for brightness or aroma
▢ 2 ½ tablespoons whole milk for brushing the crust edges
▢ 2 tablespoons coarse sugar or chopped nuts optional for crunchy topping

Instructions

Prepare the pie dough ahead of time and keep it chilled in the refrigerator until you are ready to work with it.
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats and clear space in the refrigerator for them later.
Combine the fruit, cornstarch, sugar, and lemon juice or vanilla in a bowl and stir gently until everything is evenly coated, then refrigerate the mixture.
Place one chilled dough disc on a floured surface, roll it into a large circle, and patch any cracked edges with your fingers.
Cut the dough into 5.5–6 inch rounds, re-rolling scraps as needed, and repeat with the second dough disc to make about 12 circles total.
Arrange the dough circles on the prepared baking sheets and spoon about ¼ cup of fruit filling into the center of each, leaving excess liquid behind.
Fold the edges of each circle snugly over the fruit, leaving the center exposed and shaping them into compact little galettes.
Brush the exposed dough edges with milk and, if you like, sprinkle with coarse sugar or chopped nuts.
Place the shaped galettes in the refrigerator and chill for at least 20 minutes while you preheat the oven to 375°F (191°C).
Bake the chilled galettes until the crust is lightly golden and the filling is bubbling, about 25–30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for at least 5 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Tiny pastries like these always disappear faster than expected, especially when the fruit is bubbling and the crust is golden. They’re simple, nostalgic, and perfect for sharing on a slow afternoon.
