Marionberry Galette Recipe
Oregon Marionberry Galette Recipe is a dessert made with frozen or fresh berries, with a sweet crust! It’s best eaten the day it is baked. It’s a great summertime dessert to make and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. It’s also quick, and it doesn’t have to be perfect. They’re rustic, open faced, and pretty, too.
I love a good berry galette! And when is the last time you enjoyed a delicious baked galette out of the oven? It’s even better served with vanilla ice cream, with a flaky crust and a sprinkle of sugar. But what I love about making a galette is, its quick, and it doesn’t have to be perfect. They’re rustic, open faced, and pretty, too.
Marionberry Galette Recipe
My mom, an amazing hostess and baker, was able to whip out a pie, but now looking back, she made more cobblers than pies. Making a galette is sort of mid-road … the same flavors of a pie, but prettier presentation than a cobbler.
Why I love this recipe
- It’s quick (only 10 minutes prep time).
- Use fresh or frozen berres.
- You can make your own pastry dough, or use a store-bought crust.
- Crowd-pleasing desesrt to serve, every time!
What is a galette?
A galette is a round pastry wrapped and fruit filled dessert that is baked on a baking sheet. They are very easy to make because they don’t have to be perfect. You can also make savory galettes, like my Whole Wheat Leek Salmon Galette.
Gather these ingredients
- Frozen Marionberries, I bought Willamette Valley (but you can use fresh)
- 1 pie crust
- Sugar
- Corn starch
- Juice from half a lemon
- Butter
- Egg
- Crystalized ginger, optional, if you don’t use, use 1 Tbsp. dried ginger
- Turbinado sugar, Sugar in the Raw
How do you make a Marionberry Galette?
- Preheat oven to 425 degree F.
- Line large baking sheet (with sides) with parchment paper.
- Roll out dough of your favorite pie crust or use refrigerated pie crust.
- In medium bowl mix sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, crystalized ginger, and frozen berries.
- Pour berries into center of pie crust, mounding berries in the middle.
- Fold and crimp the dough, so it covers at least 2 inches of the filling. Freeze the galette for at least 15 minutes to chill the dough.
- Whisk egg and water together. Just before baking, brush edges of pie crust with egg wash, and sprinkle the dough generously with turbinado sugar.
- Add pats of butter on top of berries, in three or four small pieces.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
Can you make a galette ahead of time?
Yes, you can make and freeze ahead!
- Baked galette freezes well for up to 3 months.
- Thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Serve warm.
- Both the dough and filling can be made ahead of time, covered tightly and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
How do you serve a galette?
For quick and easy entertaining … look what you can make your guests! WOW!
When company stops by, it’s sure easy to whip up a hot, delicious dessert. Nothing beats a fresh pie from the oven. The wonderful aroma is nostalgic, because my mom would use frozen berries in the winter for a delicious pie.
- Serve warm vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Serve for a lunch or dinner dessert, or it’s even great for breakfast or brunch.
- Bring it to a potluck or summer gathering.

Do you defrost the berries or use them frozen? This looks so delicious and simple!
Defrosted or frozen or fresh all work! If defrosted, drain first.
