This ginger pear galette is one of my favorite simple, autumn desserts for the holidays or a dinner party. Buttery homemade pie dough is filled with juicy pears, cinnamon, and ginger for spice. Serve this galette with vanilla ice cream, butter pecan ice cream, or whipped cream for a simple, amazing dessert. It's the best!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pear Ripeness Perfection 🍐Choose pears that are just barely ripe - slightly firm to the touch - to prevent them from becoming mushy during baking and maintain their structural integrity in the galette.
- Dough Chill Technique 🧊Refrigerate the pie dough for at least 1 hour before rolling out to ensure a flaky, tender crust that doesn't shrink during baking.
- Ginger Flavor Boost 🌶️Use freshly grated ginger instead of ground ginger for a more vibrant, intense flavor that complements the pears beautifully.
- Moisture Management 💧Sprinkle a thin layer of ground almonds or breadcrumbs on the bottom of the pie crust to absorb excess pear juice and prevent a soggy bottom.
- Crisp Edges Trick 🥧Brush the exposed pie crust edges with egg wash and sprinkle with Demerara sugar for a golden, crispy, and beautifully caramelized finish.
