Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (30g) almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
  • 2 cups (about 300g) tart cherries, pitted (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • 1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or arrowroot powder for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, salt, and sugar (if using). Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces (3-5 minutes).
  2. Add ice water: Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of ice water over the mixture. Gently mix with a fork just until the dough starts to come together. Add extra tablespoon if needed. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine tart cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, almond extract, and lemon zest. Toss gently and set aside to macerate.
  4. Roll out the dough: Lightly flour work surface and rolling pin. Roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Assemble the galette: Spoon cherry filling into center leaving 2-inch border. Fold edges over filling, pleating to create rustic edge. Brush crust with milk or beaten egg if desired.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake galette for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden and juices bubble. Cover edges with foil if browning too fast.
  7. Make the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Adjust milk for desired consistency.
  8. Finish and serve: After galette cools about 15 minutes, drizzle vanilla glaze over top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky crust; chill dough before rolling; use cornstarch to thicken filling juices; cover crust edges with foil if browning too fast; glaze after cooling to prevent melting; frozen cherries can be used if thawed and drained; dough can be refrigerated up to 4 hours before baking.
