Refined Sugar-Free Mixed Berry Galette

One of the things I love most about baking is the meticulousness of making something look as incredible as it tastes. The perfect lattice pie crust. A dozen cookies the exact same size and shape. Ornate cake decorations. Some people don’t have the patience for it, but my extreme Type A personality loves the attention to detail.

That said, sometimes you just want to throw something together and call it “rustic” like you totally meant for it to be slightly unkempt. Enter: the galette. Galettes are amazingly versatile — they can be savory or sweet, they work just as well with vegetables and cheese as they do with fruits, and they tuck your favorite ingredients into a buttery crust.

In this refined sugar-free mixed berry galette, I’ve used 1 cup of blackberries, a 1/2 cup of blueberries, and a 1/2 cup of sliced strawberries, but you can use any ratios or combinations of berries that you’d like, as long as it amounts to roughly 2 cups. I personally love the tartness of this blackberry-heavy mixture, but I’m sure any number of variations on the filling would be delicious!

Serve this sugar-free mixed berry galette with a scoop of lactose-free plain yogurt drizzled with honey on the side. The warm fruity filling combined with the crispy flaky texture of crust and the creaminess of the yogurt makes this the perfect dish for sitting outside and enjoying the summer weather.

This recipe largely lets the natural flavors of the berries speak for themselves, but there is a small amount of pure maple syrup for an extra bit of sweetness.

For all of my fruit pies and galettes, I use Martha Stewart’s Easy Pie Crust recipe (omitting the 1 tsp of sugar). I do tend to need a bit more water than this recipe calls for in order to get the dough to start coming together. I would also definitely recommend watching the video on that recipe page for some very helpful tips!

Refined Sugar-Free Mixed Berry Galette

This mixed berry galette is simple and lets the beautiful natural flavors of the fruits speak for themselves. The varied tartness and sweetness of the berries is slightly enhanced with lemon, maple syrup, vanilla, and sea salt, all folded into a golden, flaky crust.

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup organic blackberries
• 1/2 cup organic blueberries
• 1/2 cup organic sliced strawberries
• 3 tsp cornstarch
• 2 TBSP pure maple syrup
• 1 TBSP lemon juice
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 4-5 generous cracks of sea salt

Instructions

 

• Prepare a single pie crust according to separate instructions and chill for at least one hour.
• Remove chilled pie dough from refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
• Rinse fruit, pat dry, and add to a large mixing bowl.
• Add all remaining ingredients (corn starch, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sea salt). Stir to combine, making sure all cornstarch is dissolved.
• Roll out pie dough, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Using a slotted spoon to drain excess liquid from the filling, transfer the berries to the center of the pie dough, leaving 2-3 inches of dough around all sides.
• Fold the edges of the pie dough in over the fruit and check that all pleats are sealed in order to ensure that there are no leaks.
• Bake at 375°F for 40-45 minutes or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown and flaky.
