Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pie crust homemade or store-bought
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon corn starch
  • ½ teaspoon orange extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
  • pinch ground cardamom
  • pinch fine sea salt
  • pinch ground cloves
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar

Instructions
 

  • Start with preheating the oven to 400 degrees F. Pull the crust out of the fridge if needed and let it sit at room temp for about 20 minutes or until pliable to roll.
  • Using a medium size bowl, toss the cranberries with the sugar and spices. Then add the orange extract and cornstarch.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 12 inches. Transfer the dough to a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Gently spoon the cranberries into the middle of the dough, leaving about 1 ½ inches around the edge. Carefully fold the dough over the filling, making little pleats.
  • Brush the crust with melted butter and sprinkle the demerara sugar over the top.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes- checking at around the 25-30 minute mark. If the crust is browning too fast, place a foil tent over the top. The Cranberry Galette is done when the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. Remove when done and let it sit for a few minutes. Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Notes:
Storing instructions:
Store any remaining leftovers in an airtight container or foil in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat using the microwave for 45 seconds.
Helpful tips:
  • If your oven runs hot, check at the 25 minute mark.
  • This recipe can be used with other fruits like apple cranberry,blueberry cranberry or pear cranberry.
  • The dough needs to be pliable but still cold when you roll it out. If it’s too soft, it will fall apart when you cut into it.
  • Egg wash can be used instead of butter for the crust.
