Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 box premade pie dough (2 crusts) thawed
  • ¾ cup pecans, chopped (plus extra halves for topping if desired)
  • ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup corn syrup or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 egg + splash of milk (for egg wash)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Unroll both pie doughs and gently knead them together into one cohesive ball. Dived the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball out into a circle about 4½ - 5 inches wide.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup (or maple), melted butter, egg, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Stir in chopped pecans and chocolate chips.
  • Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of filling into the center of each dough round, leaving about a 1 inch border.
  • Fold the edges of the dough up around the filling, pleating as needed to form rustic edges (the center stays open).
  • Brush the edges with egg wash.
  • Optional: Top each galette with a whole pecan or two for decoration.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  • Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
