How to Make Rustic Cranberry Pear Galette

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix well.
  4. Add 2 cups peeled and thinly sliced pears, 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the bowl. Gently toss to coat evenly.
  5. Unfold one 14-inch circle of refrigerated pie crust (or make your own!) on the prepared baking sheet. Remove plastic.
  6. Spoon the pear and cranberry mixture into the center of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border.
  7. Fold the edges of the crust over the filling, pleating as desired. Crimp the edges to seal.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg white and 1 teaspoon of water until frothy.
  9. Brush the egg wash over the exposed crust edges. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the crust is golden brown. If the edges brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil after 15 minutes.
  11. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
