Instructions
- On a floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pie crust to a rough 12-inch circle.
- In a bowl, combine the fresh berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and optional cinnamon. Toss until the berries are well coated.
- Place the berry mixture in the center of the pie crust, leaving about a 2-inch border.
- Gently fold the edges of the crust over the berries, pleating as necessary to create a rustic edge.
- Preheat a stovetop grill or skillet on medium heat, and place the galette carefully onto the grill, covering it with a lid.
- Cook for about 20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the berries are bubbly and juicy. Allow cooling slightly before serving.
