How to Make Pear Galette

If you struggle with making pie crust, this free-form pie is the perfect dessert for you. A galette may sound fancy, but I promise it really is a no-fuss dessert. You make the dough in a food processor, it only takes about 5 minutes to whip up. Another bonus, you can make the dough in advance, just keep it chilled in the refrigerator for up to three days. The pear topping is super simple as well. Brush the galette dough with apricot preserves and arrange pear slices in a spoke pattern around the dough. Bake until golden brown and enjoy! The crisp, crunchy, buttery crust goes perfectly with the sweet, juicy pears. We recommend serving whipped cream or ice cream on the side:) You can also drizzle salted caramel sauce over the top. SO good!
