This Vegan Rustic Strawberry Galette is the vegan version of my Rustic Strawberry Galette! It is just as delicate and luscious–a perfect summer dessert when strawberries are in season!
Place all the dough ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until a soft ball forms (30 seconds). The dough will be sticky, that's OK--sprinkle it with a little flour (no more than 1 Tbsp flour), enough to gather it in your hands and make it into a ball.
Place it on a piece of parchment paper and using a rolling pin, gently roll into a circle about 7 inch in diameter--it doesn't have to be perfect.
Transfer onto baking sheet.
Custard:
Mix applesauce, almond meal and vanilla extract and stir well with a spoon until thoroughly mixed.
Assembling:
Spread the custard evenly over the dough to within about 1/2 inch of the edge.
Spread the sliced strawberries in one layer, no need to arrange them in any way, they will be naturally beautiful.
Fold the edge of the dough up over the berries to create a little border (see little video clip below).
Sprinkle the granulated sugar on top of the strawberries and folded edge.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the strawberries are juicy and tender and the crust is golden.
