Now if you want to spring for a homemade pie crust, then go for it. But, I know for me, the refrigerated roll out pie crusts are pretty darn good.

And, this convenience step always makes me more inclined to make a pie, tart or galette.

Recipe for Blueberry Galette

Well, according to our experts and good friend, Google, here’s the difference between a pie and a galette.

A pie is a sweet or savory dish with a crust and a filling. The sides of a pie dish or pan are sloped. It can have a just a bottom, just a top, or both a bottom and a top crust. .A galette is a round pastry wrapped and fruit filled dessert that is baked on a baking sheet.

Ingredients

• Preheat oven to 350
• Cooking spray
• 1 refrigerated pie crust, rolled out
• 3 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 Tbl. all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup + 1 tsp. sugar
• 1 lemon, juice & zest
• 2 Tbl. butter, cold & cut into pieces
• 1 egg, cracked and in small bowl
• 

Instructions

1. Coat the inside of the tart pan well with grease or cooking spray. Put the pie crust in and press the dough gently into the fluted sides of the pan. There will be about an inch plus of dough that will be folded over before baking.
2. Put the blueberries in a bowl, give a quick coating of cooking spray/toss and then dust on the flour tossing/coating them. Pour into the pan. Sprinkle on one-fourth cup of sugar and drizzle on the lemon juice and zest. Put the butter pieces on top.
3. Fold over the dough onto the berries. Brush the dough with the egg white.
4. Put the tart pan on a cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 40-45 minutes. (If the exposed crust is brown enough for you, simple loosely cover it with doubled foil.) Remove and let cool.

Notes

You can substitute puff pastry for the refrigerated pie crust.
