Notes

When baking with frozen fruit, don't thaw it ahead of time.

Allow the pie crust to come to room temperature before rolling it out to prevent tearing.

Place your galette on the lowest rack while cooking to prevent the pie crust from burning.

The most important thing to remember after cooking traditional pie, galettes, and other fruit-filled desserts is to allow them to cool before serving. When cooled it allows the fruit mixture to solidify so you don't have any runaway filling.

To reheat, place slices on plates and microwave for about 30 seconds until warm. You can also reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 5-10 minutes.
