Fun fact for inquiring minds; pies are baked in a sloped pie pan, often with a top crust or open with crimped edges, galettes are freeform, and baked right on a baking sheet. The edges of the galette are folded over the center filling, leaving a wide opening from which the filling can be seen. I hope you decide to try this recipe. Thanks for visiting and see you again soon.
