What You’ll Need:

For the Gluten-Free Crust

1½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
2 tbsp coconut sugar or maple sugar
½ tsp sea salt
½ cup solid coconut oil (or vegan butter alternative, chilled)
4–5 tbsp ice water

For the Cherry Filling

2 cups fresh or frozen pitted cherries

1 tbsp arrowroot starch or cornstarch
½ tsp vanilla extract

Prepration for:Rustic Cherry Galette (Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Dairy-Free)

Step 1/4

Make the Dough

In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the chilled coconut oil using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, until the dough comes together. Form into a disc, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2/4

Prepare Cherry Filling

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cherries, maple syrup, arrowroot starch, vanilla, lemon juice, and optional cinnamon. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened slightly. Remove from heat and cool.

Step 3/4

Assemble the Galette

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out chilled dough between two pieces of parchment paper into a rough 10-inch circle. Transfer dough (with bottom parchment) to a baking sheet. Spoon the cherry filling into the center, leaving a 1.5–2 inch border. Fold edges of dough over the filling, overlapping slightly to create a rustic look. Brush edges with plant milk and sprinkle with coconut sugar if desired.

Step 4/4

Bake

Bake for 40–45 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Let cool at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Chef's Tips & Notes

Tips: For a nutty crust flavor, replace ¼ cup flour with almond flour (if tolerated). Serve with coconut whipped cream or vegan ice cream! Make it ahead: refrigerate assembled galette for a few hours before baking.
