I absolutely love cherries and come summer when they are in season and ripe, I like to eat them by the dozen. I’m always finding new ways to cook with them too, however if it’s not summer you can always buy them pre pitted and frozen in your local grocer and make this type of gallette at home.

If you have never made a galette which is a term used in French cuisine to designate various types of flat round or freeform crusty cakes.

Then you are in for a treat, this pie is so easy to make. You are just filling and folding over to create the most delicious dessert, without all the hassle of a typical pie. I like to make this when we go camping, as it can be cooked over the open flame or on a camp stove.

You can also make this at home if you prefer in the oven, just make sure you have pre pitted cherries and pre frozen butter puff pastry prior to your camping trip otherwise pitting cherries or  making pie crust from scratch when camping is no fun.

Then simply allow it to caramelizes over open fire, once cooked drizzle some Maple Syrup over top to sweeten and eat it right from the tin pan. Clean up is a cinch because you will simply toss the tinfoil pie shells in a sealed garbage and then can sit back and watch the fire roar.
