Crostata/Galette

The words "crostata" and "galette" can be used interchangeably; crostata is Italian, while galette is French. Though they contain the same components as pie, galettes are thinner and baked on sheet pans (or cast iron pans, pizza stones, etc.) The edges of the crust are normally folded to keep the juices in, while still leaving the contents exposed.
