Filling
Add cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest and juice, and vanilla to a mixing bowl. Stir until incorporated. Pour filling into the center of the dough. Spread it out slightly so that you stop about 2 inches from the edge of the dough. Fold the 2 inches of dough over the filling all around the galette one fold at a time until all of the dough is folded. Transfer galette on the parchment paper to a baking sheet.Beat egg and water in a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash all over the crust. Place galette in a 350 degree oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the crust starts to brown. Cool on a wire rack and top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
