Servings: 6 servings
For the vegan pie crust:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Coconut Oil cool enough to be solid
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1/3-1/2 cup ice water
For the mixed berry filling:
- 3 cups (about 4 stalks) blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries (or any fruit of your choosing)
- 1/8 cup sugar
- 1 lemon zested, and half juiced
- sugar for finishing
For the vegan pie crust:
Place flour, salt, and sugar in bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine.
Add coconut oil and pulse until mixture is crumbly and sticks together when you squeeze it. Pulse in 1/3 cup water, or until hold together when you make a handful of it.
Turn dough out on to a clean and dry surface. Shape it in to a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
When ready to use, remove from refrigerator at least 30 minutes prior to use, to take the chill off the dough making it easier to roll out.
Roll dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness, taking care to not rip dough. If dough starts piecing apart, patch the tears if you can, but remember that the best pies are very imperfect.
Carefully transfer dough to a parchment lined baking sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For the mixed berry filling:
Combine berries, lemon zest and juice, and sugar in a large bowl, tossing to combine.
Spread berries over pie crust, allowing a 1 to 1/2 inch perimeter of dough. Fold dough gently over berries, allowing for an opening in the middle where the berries will be uncovered. You're just making a rustic crust with the dough. Fold and pinch as you go.
In a small bowl, crack egg and add a splash of water. Whisk until combined. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the dough with the egg wash. Top with sugar.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, until edges of galette are browned, and berries are cooked through.
Allow to cool slightly. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
