Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
  • 2 ripe pears, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust based on pear sweetness)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tbsp milk or heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough by combining flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough holds together. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Toss sliced pears with cranberries, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl; let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Spoon fruit mixture onto the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over filling to create an open-faced galette.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush edge with egg wash. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and filling bubbles.
  6. Whisk powdered sugar with milk until smooth; drizzle over warm galette before serving.
