    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!

    Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

    Roll the pie dough into a 12'' circle (it doesn't have to be perfect). If you like a cleaner look, use a pizza cutter to cut off the rough edges. Otherwise, leave them as-is for a rustic look. Transfer the pie dough to the prepared sheet pan. Refrigerate the pie dough while you prepare the filling.

    In a medium bowl, toss the pear slices with the lemon juice. Then, add the sugar, flour, ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Toss well until the sugar dissolves.

    Evenly spoon the pear filling in the middle of the pie dough, leaving a 2'' border. Leave as-is for a rustic look, or arrange the slices into a concentric circle for a pretty design. Fold the pie dough over the filling, overlapping the dough as needed. Gently press the folds to make sure they stick. Refrigerate the galette for 10-15 minutes.

    Meanwhile, whisk the egg with 1 Tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash on the edges of the chilled galette and sprinkle generously with Demerara sugar.

    Bake the galette for 35-40 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the crust is deep golden-brown. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

    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.
