Equipment

  • 1 Large baking sheet half-sized
  • Parchment paper
  • 1 Large mixing bowl

Ingredients 

  • 1 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 puff pastry sheet
  • 1 large egg for egg wash
  • 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the cranberries, sugar, and orange zest until combined. Set the bowl aside.
  • Roll out the puff pastry sheet onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Carefully roll it out with a small rolling pin. Use a pizza cutter to round off the corners, if desired.
  • Spoon the cranberry filling into the center of the puff pastry, then carefully fold the edges around the filling making a round tart. The galette doesn’t need to look perfect.
  • Crack the large egg into a small bowl, and beat until it is light yellow. Brush the egg wash over the edges of the galette, and sprinkle the turbinado sugar over it.
  • Bake the galette for 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries are bubbling and the puffy pastry is golden brown around the edges.
  • If any bubbles form in the puff pastry, use a knife to pop them and they’ll deflate. Serve warm or at room temperature with powdered sugar or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

• The dessert is best when it is made and served fresh within 24 hours.
• Adding powdered sugar or ice cream helps balance out the tartness of the cranberries.
• You can either poke holes in the puff pastry or simply pop any bubbles with a small knife immediately after it comes out of the oven if the crust should bubble up after baking.
• A galette is a rustic tart that’s easy to put together without a tart or pie dish. Great for a quick holiday dessert!
