This ginger pear galette is one of my favorite simple, autumn desserts for the holidays or a dinner party. Buttery homemade pie dough is filled with juicy pears, cinnamon, and ginger for spice. Serve this galette with vanilla ice cream, butter pecan ice cream, or whipped cream for a simple, amazing dessert. It's the best!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pear Ripeness Matters 🍐Choose slightly firm pears that are just ripe to prevent excess moisture and maintain structure in your galette filling.
- Dough Chilling Technique 🧊Always chill your homemade pie dough for at least 1 hour before rolling to ensure a flaky, tender crust that doesn't shrink during baking.
- Ginger Flavor Boost 🌶️Use both ground and fresh grated ginger for a more complex, layered spice profile that enhances the pear's natural sweetness.
- Prevent Soggy Bottom 🥧Sprinkle a thin layer of ground almonds or breadcrumbs on the dough before adding pear filling to absorb excess moisture and keep the crust crisp.
- Rustic Folding Technique 🤲When folding the galette edges, create loose, uneven pleats to achieve that classic rustic look and prevent filling leakage.
