Juicy cherries and crunchy almonds are a natural pairing in this easy summer dessert. Galettes are pie's easy-going cousin, since there's no need to form a perfectly fluted crust or worry about adding a complicated lattice. In this recipe, you cut the dough into smaller circles to form individual galettes, but you could also easily leave the dough in one large round and serve the dessert cut into wedges. Just be sure to bake the galette for 10 to 15 minutes more, until the crust is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling. Serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Mealthy Tip

Greek-style yogurt can replace the sour cream, if you prefer. You can also make the galette with your favorite stone fruit, such as peaches, plums, nectarines or apricots—or even mix and match! Swap the almonds for chopped hazelnuts or pecans for another variation.

My wife and I love these. The cherry and almond filling is so rich and delicious. The cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg is the perfect spice trio.

Jessica Scott says:

The galette crust was easily my favorite part of this dish. It was very tender and flaky, just how I like it. The cherry almond filling was also one of kind. Delicious.

Greg Jones says:

We used the Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for the galette crust and it turned out great. Really loved the cherry almond filling, it was perfect for my sweet tooth. Probably going to make these again for Valentine's Day.
