Plum Galette

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Plum Galette is a delicious rustic pie filled with fresh plums.

What do you do when you  have a surplus of plums?  Make plum galette!  Actually, I'd make this even if I didn't have a surplus of plums.  In fact, I'd go searching for plums just to make this galette.  A galette is simply a free form pie...more rustic than a regular pie.  It is so much more forgiving than a regular pie too.  If your crust isn't perfect, it just adds to the charm!

I had never made a galette before or made any kind of dessert using plums.  I don't know what I was thinking...plums are fantastic as a dessert!

They actually reminded me a bit of a sour cherry in this pie.  Needless to say, I will be making this again.  In fact, I've made it twice in the last two weeks...that also means I've eaten a whole bunch of plum galette!  The first time I made this, I kept all the fruit in the very center and folded the crust way over.  It wasn't nearly as pretty.  

This time, I spread the fruit mixture out a bit and just folded over a couple of inches.  It made a much prettier presentation.

When baking, I highly recommend placing this on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a piece of parchment paper.  The first time, my filling spilled over and ran across my pan.  I can't even imagine the mess it would have made if it spilled into the oven. Trust me!  Use a rimmed baking sheet.

I made my own pie dough for this recipe, but if you are in a pinch, you can use a ready made crust.

  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar

Filling

  • 4 Cups Plums (Cut into Halves and Quarters)

    I love a galette - I haven't tried plums either - was it hard to remove the pit? Looks great - love the rustic charm!

      Some plums are free-stone. the pits come out without being stuck to the flesh. Mine are not this kind...I just cut around the pit. It got easier the more I did. There was some waste, but then again, I had about 5,000 plums so I wasn't too worried!

    Kathy, I am so jealous! I wish I had a plum tree in my yard! This galette looks tender and delicious. P.S. It's so nice to see a picture of you on your blog-- especially with your beautiful barred rock. 🙂 Thanks for sharing your recipe!

    Galette recipes are so less stressful than all that pie business. Everything is so all over the place and rustic! I' totally with you on the prevention of spill over!
