10 Simple Summer Fruit Galettes to Eat Sweet This Season

If you’re unfamiliar with the galette — that free-form, rustic pie darling of Instagram — allow us to introduce you. This is the pastry that’s so easy to make, you can do it with your eyes closed, without a recipe, sweet or savory, and with whatever you’ve got on hand. We’d like to think it’s the reason for the expression “easy as pie.” Below, we’ve put together our top 10 recipes of the summer, so you can stop searching and get straight to the baking (and eating).

Strawberry Crostata With Honey Whipped Cream

With a cornmeal and buttermilk crust, a colorful strawberry filling, and orange blossom honey laced through cream, this is an example of understated elegance. (via Tutti Dolci)

Why is everything so much better when it’s in personal-size form? The soft herbal notes in these mini pies give sweet blueberries a refreshing lift. (via Hint of Vanilla)
