Confession time: I have a "thing" about making pie crust. I'm sure it goes back to my childhood and my grandmother trying to teach me about making a crust that was hard as a rock. So, I gave up.

This is the little cousin to a pie. It's simple and easy to make even for a weeknight treat. While this recipe calls for mixed berries, I have made a blueberry galette, a strawberry galette, and a simple blackberry galette.
Loving all things blueberry? Try the Lemon Blueberry Cookies, Greek Yogurt Bark, the Triple Berry Trifle, or the Mixed Berry Crisp!
Why You Will Love This Recipe
A galette is a French pastry similar to a tart or a pie. It is essentially pie dough wrapped in free form over a filling made from fruit, and sugar. This free-form pie doesn’t require a special pan for baking.
- Quick and Easy - Since you are starting with pre-made dough, this pie comes together in minutes and only takes about 20 minutes to bake.
- Beautiful Summer Berries - Summer berries are at their peak and I'm finding them at all of the farmer's markets but feel free to pick some up at the store. You can use any type of berry in this recipe and make a delicious berry galette. Try strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, or any combination. I have even made a peach galette and a nectarine galette for company!
- No crust fussiness - Using pre-made pie dough, (you can use homemade pie dough if you prefer), you will find that there aren't any pre-baking, shaping, rolling out, cookie cutters, or other assorted fussy things to do. It's so simple that it's almost a no-fail crust for a simple pie.
- A Gorgeous Presentation - This free-form pie will surely impress your guests. It looks like you spent hours creating this deliciousness!
This pairs well with this amazing Lamb Burger With Zucchini that I love to serve company. If you are looking for another delicious galette then this Blueberry Galette is delicious or a tasty cocktail, then try this raspberry gin and tonic! I also love my Mixed Berry Trifle!

Variations and Substitutions
There are a few ways to get creative with this recipe:
- Gluten-Free Crust - I have found gluten-free crusts at Whole Foods Market. I simply let the crust sit on the counter for 10 minutes then take it out of the tin it comes in. I then roll it to make it a touch larger and use it in this recipe. If you wish to start from scratch, I have also used this mix.
- Home-made pie crust - Well, as I said earlier, I rarely make my own. However, if you want a fool-proof crust, I use this recipe.
- Berries - As I have said, use anything you wish. My two other favorites are a blueberry galette and a strawberry galette!
- Jam - Adding a touch of jam to the berries prior to serving will make the berries pop with a nice shine and add more sugar to the pie.
- Coarse Sugar - I use an extremely coarse sugar for the crust in my pictures above, however, you can use any coarse sugar for the outside. If you don't have coarse sugar you can use a heavy hand on regular sugar for the crust.
How To Make This Mixed Berry Galette: Step-By-Step
This recipe is so simple to make!
Step 1: Combine 3 cups of berries into a bowl. Add the sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice and mix until combined.
Step 2: Roll out the pie dough and heap the berries into the middle. Fold the dough over the berries.
Step 3: Fold the edges over and crimp the edges to flute the dough.
Step 4: Add an egg wash and then dust the outside with sugar. Then bake.
Hint: The entire galette can be made hours in advance and left at room temperature until serving. If you would like to serve this warm, simply heat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and warm the galette for 10 minutes. If you would like to make it a few days ahead, store this in the refrigerator then re-warm it before serving.
Pro tip
If you re-warm your galette and the berries look a bit dry or limp, spread a bit of jam over the berries. You can warm the jam in the microwave for 15 seconds to loosen it up and make it easier to spread.
Equipment
I bake my Easy Mixed Berry Galette on a jelly roll pan. My favorite pans are by Nordic Ware. This is the one that I use.
Storage
Store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days. Make sure you cover the galette. Simply re-warm the pie when you are ready to serve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! You are using a pie-dough to make the crust of a galette. You can use store-bought or homemade pie-dough.
While I typically don't do this step as I like the juice from the berries to seep out, you can brush the interior crust of the galette with egg white before adding the berries.
Yes. You can make this a few hours ahead of time and leave it at room temp before serving, or you can make this up to three days ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Simply re-warm when ready to serve.
Yes, you can use frozen berries which I do in the winter. Simply make sure that the cornstarch is adhering to the berries when mixing.
Galettes are traditionally made with standard butter-laced pie dough. However, yes you can use puff pastry dough. It will make your crust even flakier!

This recipe is absolutely delicious and definitely one of my new favorite dishes! Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe, I will definitely be making it again and again.
Elise says
The texture of the galette was just right, crisp and flaky crust on the outside, with juicy and tender berries nestled inside. It was the perfect balance of textures. Planning to make a peach galette next using the same recipe. Excited to see how it turns out with fresh ripe peaches.
Laura K says
I can't resist a galette. Great crust on this one. It came out so light and flaky...just perfect.
Brie says
This was so delicious! I also used mixed berries and I loved the balanced sweetness and tang from the fruits. The crust came out so flaky too!
Gail says
The crust came out so flaky and delicious, even though I used store-bought dough. Can't wait to try it with homemade crust next time.
