Step-by-Step Instructions for Cardamom Pear Galette

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all your ingredients and equipment, including a mixing bowl and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine ¼ cup of sugar, 1½ teaspoons of cardamom, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Toss in the thinly sliced pears, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
  • Roll out your pie crust on your prepared baking sheet to about 12 inches in diameter.
  • Place the spiced pear mixture in the center of the rolled-out crust, leaving a 2-inch border. Spread the pears evenly.
  • Fold the edges of the crust over the pear filling, creating a rustic, freeform shape.
  • Beat 1 egg and gently brush it over the folded edges of the crust for a golden finish.
  • Bake the galette in your preheated oven for 30–35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the pears are tender.
  • Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool slightly on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Allow the galette to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to enhance the flavor and make slicing easier.
