If you love pie, these mini gluten free grape galettes are a delicious fruity snack for you to try. They taste just like a grape pie, but with only a bottom crust. These little fruit galettes are baked in mason jar lids and make a fun dessert for a dessert buffet.

If you haven't tried baking with grapes yet, I highly recommend it. Grapes are juicy and sweet and so easy to bake with.

(*This post is sponsored by Grapes from California, the juicy fresh recipe and all opinions are my own.)

With the holidays coming up I wanted to create a delicious dessert that was easy to make but was fancy enough to be offered to guests as well. These gluten free grape galettes are not only full of grape pie filling flavor, but they are fun to make

What is Galette?

Have you ever made a gluten free galette recipe?

Galettes are different from tarts in several ways. Tarts have a stiff side and are more structured, whereas galettes are more forgiving and are made with pie crust that is folded over the filling.

Did you know that 99% of table grapes are grown right here in California? California Grapes are my kids' favorite fruit to snack on. Grapes can go anywhere...they are so easy to put in a lunchbox, picnic, bag, or container.

Why this recipe is great:

This recipe is one of my favorites because it makes cute little single serving desserts. Grapes are not a traditional pie filling, which makes this dessert unique. Mason jar lids allow you to make these little grape pies, then pop them out easily to serve.

Can you resist their fresh juicy flavor?  Grapes from California are available in three vibrant colors: green, red, and black and are in-season May through January.

What you need to make this recipe:

grape galette ingredients
  • Gluten free flour blend - I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  • Xanthan gum - If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
  • Butter - To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the butter for vegan butter.
  • Grapes - You can use any color you like. I used black grapes for this recipe.

Recipe step by step directions:

These mini gluten free pies are so easy to make! The first step is to make the grape pie filling recipe. Grape pie filling is a little less traditional, but it is so full of flavor!

cooking black grapes with sugar and lemon zest in a pan

Step 1: The filling is just grapes, lemon juice and zest, sugar, and tapioca starch.

The grapes cook into this wonderful pie filling.

Cutting butter into the flour to make the crust

Step 2: Cut the butter into the flour, then gradually add milk until you get a crust.

You will want to use my flaky gluten free pie crust recipe. It is light and flaky, and makes the best gluten free pies!

Using the mason jar lid to cut the pie crust shapes

Step 3: Use the mason jar lid to cut the crusts out. Put the circle of crust into the lid, then add pie filling and bake! Take a bite!

Step 4: Press each pie crust circle into a greased mason jar lid. I sprayed my lids with coconut oil.

Step 5: Add the grape pie filling to each mason jar lid. Fold the crust slightly over the grapes.

Step 6: Bake at 350º F for 20 minutes. Eat when they are cooled.

More filling ideas:

  • apples
  • berries
  • apricot
  • peaches
  • plums like in this gluten free plum galette recipe.

If you want a full-sized delicious galette, try this easy Gluten Free Honey Apple Galette. I made it in a cast iron skillet, but you can also bake it on a cookie sheet!

Expert Tips and Recipe FAQ:

Can you make this dairy-free?

You can easily make this recipe dairy-free by using cold vegan stick butter.

How do you store grapes?

Store your grapes unwashed, and then wash the grapes before you eat them. ¾ a cup of grapes has only 90 calories, with no fat or cholesterol, making them a delicious healthy snack. Grapes of all colors are a source of antioxidants and polyphenols.

How long will these galettes keep?

These galettes will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.
