Complete with a flaky golden brown pie crust, juicy berry filling, and crunchy coarse sugar on top (optional but so good!!), these mini fruit galettes are a treat any time of year. But I especially love them as the weather heats up and we can take advantage of the season’s freshest flavors. Galettes are free-form pies. I like to call them “lazy pies” because there’s no complicated shaping involved. Just as delicious + awesome as pie, but there’s no weaving, crimping, trimming, or any of that meticulous business. (I know that’s appreciated. Galettes are easy!) I usually stick to full size galettes—like my Blueberry Peach Frangipane Galette, Lemony Blueberry Galette, Strawberry Peach Galette, or Apple Galette—but smaller tarts have their benefits. I know you’ll happily agree!

Overview: How to Make Mini Fruit Galettes
Some step-by-step photos: Optional: Before chilling and baking, dress up your galettes! Sprinkle the assembled crusts with coarse sugar. I used Sugar in the Raw. The sugar adds a lovely crunch, but you can skip it if desired. I also sprinkled some of the galettes with sliced almonds. Any nut works, but this is also optional.
Fruit Filling Ideas
Use 2 and 1/2 cups of fruit in the filling. You can pretty much use any fruit. Fresh fruit is best, but you can use frozen if needed. For best results, thaw the fruit first. Blot dry as much as you can before using. Here are my favorites: Serve the mini galettes plain or with ice cream, whipped cream, or even salted caramel drizzled on top. Have fun customizing your own!
