Key Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make this classic blueberry galette:
- Flour – Use all-purpose flour in this recipe.
- Salt – For flavor.
- Granulated sugar – Sweetens the blueberry filling and crumb topping. You’ll also sprinkle the pastry with sugar before baking.
- Unsalted butter – Use cold, cubed unsalted butter in the pastry and crumb topping.
- Ice water – The key to a flaky, tender pie crust.
- Rolled oats – For the crumble topping.
- Fresh blueberries – A must for blueberry galette! Out of season, you can use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer. Simply toss with the other filling ingredients until combined.
- Cornstarch – Thickens up the filling.
- Lemon juice – Adds balance to the blueberry filling. Feel free to add some fresh lemon zest too!
- Heavy cream – Brush over the pastry before baking.

How to Make Blueberry Galette
Pastry – Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor. Add cubed butter and process just until the mixture resembles coarse meal. With the food processor running, add ice water in a steady stream through feed tube. Process just until dough holds together in large clumps, then wrap dough in plastic and flatten slightly to form a disc. Chill dough for 1 hour.
Crumb Topping – Combine flour, oats, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until completely incorporated and large crumbs form. Chill until ready to use.
Roll Dough – Place dough on a floured board and dust dough lightly with flour. Roll out dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes and preheat oven to 400°F.
Blueberry Filling – Place 1/2 cup fresh blueberries in a large bowl and crush gently with a fork. Add remaining 2 1/2 cups blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and lemon juice and toss to combine.
Assemble Galette – Spoon blueberry filling over chilled crust, leaving a 2-inch border. Sprinkle evenly with crumb topping and fold up the pastry border, pressing the edges with a fork to seal. Chill assembled galette for 15 minutes.
Bake Galette – Brush pastry with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake galette for 40 to 45 minutes, or until pastry is golden and filling is bubbly. Let cool for 1 hour on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Make Ahead Galette
The dough and crumble topping can be made 1-2 days in advance and refrigerated until ready to use. You can also assemble the entire galette in advance, and freeze up to 2 months. When you’re ready to bake, transfer the galette directly from the freezer to the oven and bake as directed.

Description
Classic blueberry galette topped with vanilla ice cream makes the best summer dessert! You’ll love this easy blueberry galette recipe with blueberries baked in flaky pastry. Recipe makes one 10-inch galette.
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 to 4 Tbsp ice water
Topping
- 1/3 cup flour
- 6 Tbsp rolled oats
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 6 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
Filling
- 3 cups fresh blueberries, divided
- 2/3 cup sugar (see note below)
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Assembly
- 1 Tbsp heavy cream
- 1 Tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Make crust: Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor. Add cubed butter and process for 10 seconds, just until the mixture resembles coarse meal. With the food processor running, add 2 tablespoons ice water in a steady stream through feed tube. If needed, add additional ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, and process just until dough holds together in large clumps (no more than 30 seconds). Wrap dough in plastic and flatten slightly to form a disc. Chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days, or place in a freezer bag and freeze up to 1 month).
- Make topping: Combine flour, oats, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until completely incorporated and large crumbs form. Chill until ready to use.
- Roll dough: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place dough on a floured board and dust dough with flour. Roll out dough (roll dough in one direction, then lift up dough and rotate a quarter turn and roll, then repeat) until dough is a 12-inch circle. If dough starts to stick, use a bench scraper to lift dough from board. Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Make filling: Place 1/2 cup blueberries in a large bowl and crush gently with a fork. Add remaining blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and lemon juice and toss to combine.
- Assemble galette: Spoon filling over chilled crust, leaving a 2-inch border. Sprinkle evenly with crumb topping and fold up the pastry border, pressing the edges with a fork to seal. Chill assembled galette for 15 minutes.
- Bake galette: Brush pastry with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake galette for 25 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet. Tent with foil if needed to prevent over-browning. Continue baking another 15 to 20 minutes (for a total baking time of 40 to 45 minutes), or until pastry is golden and filling is bubbly. Let cool for 1 hour on a wire rack before slicing and serving (filling thickens as it cools).
- Wrap up leftovers in foil and refrigerate overnight. Re-warm in the oven (325°F) for 15 minutes or until heated through before serving.
Notes
Filling: The amount of sugar for the filling depends on the sweetness of the blueberries. If the blueberries are very sweet and flavorful, reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup.
Blueberries: I use and recommend fresh blueberries in this galette. Out of season, you can use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer. Simply toss with the other filling ingredients until combined and proceed with the recipe as directed.
Make ahead: The dough and crumble topping can be made 1-2 days in advance and refrigerated until ready to use. You can also assemble the entire galette in advance, and freeze up to 2 months. When you’re ready to bake, transfer the galette directly from the freezer to the oven and bake as directed.

Love your recipes! Have an extra Dufour puff pastry – can I use that for the crust? Any changes to the recipe? Thanks!
Thanks Doug, the puff pastry should work great. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and trim into a circle. Chill as directed throughout the assembly process before baking. Bake time should be about the same.
10 out of 10. I made this to take to a party and everybody went wild for it. Blueberry galette perfection. Thank you for the recipe!!

The most delicious galette and the crust is perfectly flaky!

Hi Carrie, so glad to hear that! 🙂
This was absolutely amazing. The crust came out perfectly and the flavor of the filling with fresh blueberries was phenomenal. I did add the zest of a lemon to the filling for a more lemony flavor and it worked so well. Baked on the longer end of the range and tented with foil for the last 10 mins. I’ll have to make one every summer now!
The crust is buttery and flaky and so lovely to work with. And the crumble on top of the sweet blueberry filling adds another layer of goodness. Absolutely delicious!

So glad you tried this galette, Amie! 🙂
Delicious flakey crust. Yummy filling. The crumble was so nice on top. I had less berries than the recipe called for but it worked just fine. I cooked mine about 5 min longer to get the nice toasty color. Family loved it. Thanks for this recipe!

Thanks Tammy, that’s so great to hear! Glad you tried this recipe! 🙂
This galette looks just heavenly, Laura. I love it!

With a pie you get more berries, with a galette it’s all about the all about the flaky crust! This is a fabulous summer dessert. The topping adds so much texture and flavor.
All I have is frozen berries – should I thaw them first or use frozen? Thanks. This looks delicious.
Hi Mary, I’d use them straight from the freezer, without thawing. I would also add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch since they will have excess moisture. Happy baking! 🙂
OMG! This galette looks perfect! I love so much blueberry, I have to try it 🙂
Fruit based dessert is the best during summer!
Thank you so much, hope you love this recipe! 🙂
