Easy Summer Peach Galette

-


Skip to Recipe

Summer is the season of stone fruits-juicy peaches, plump cherries, ripe nectarines. Since summer is fast moving, it is time to make the most of these freshest end-of-season fruits.

With a flaky, buttery crust folded over a warm cinnamon-spiced peach filling, this Peach Galette makes the most elegant and impressive dessert and is the epitome of Summer.
This is the simplest gallette recipe you will come across as it is made with puff pastry sheet. I know it isn’t the traditional way to make a Galette, but it sure is the easiest.

Here are few of my popular recipes that I created using store- bought puff pastry dough: What is a Galette?

A galette is basically a French flat pie, that is made of a flaky, buttery pastry dough wrapped around a fresh fruit filling. Normally, galettes have fruit fillings like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, apples, pears, peaches, plums, or cherries. However, they can also be savory, with fillings like tomatoes, cheese and sauteed mushrooms.
What is the difference between a Pie and a Galette?

A typical pie is baked in a pie pan while a galette is a free-form pastry meaning that it is baked on a flat sheet pan . A galette is basically the humbler, more rustic version of a pie yet it transcends expectations and is a treat to the eyes.

How do I keep a galette from getting soggy?

Peaches are juicy and delicious, but they release a lot of liquid when cooked. Toss the peaches with the sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice just before arranging them on the crust. The cornstach mixture in the filling absorbs and thickens the juices that the peaches release as they bake — therefore preventing a soggy galette. If you find that your peaches are exceptionally ripe and juicy, you can also strain off some of the excess juice before preparing the filling.

Why you will Love this Recipe

  • Perfect for Entertaining: This Peach Galette is visually impressive, making it a gorgeous dessert for summer entertaining.
  • Great for showcasing seasonal fruits: A Galette is one of the best ways to highlight summer fruits that are at their prime – and this Peach Galette is no exception.


A FEW TIPS FOR MAKING A GREAT FRUIT GALETTE
  • This simple dessert easily adapts to feature whatever seasonal fruits you have on hand. You can use anything like peaches, nectarines, plums, cherries, apples, blueberries, strawberries.
  • Don’t worry if your galette isn’t exactly round or the edges are uneven. Galettes are meant to look rustic and imperfect.
  • Avoid putting too much filling inside the galette. The crust might not bake properly and the filling might ooze out while the galette is in the oven.
  • The galette will be perfectly cooked when the crust is golden brown, the filling is thickened and bubbling, and the fruits are soft. To test, insert the tip of a knife into one of the wedges, if it goes in easily, its good to go!
  • Brushing the warm galette with some peach jelly/jam will add some glaze and shine to it.


How To Store & Reheat the Leftovers?

A baked galette will be fine at room-temperature on the counter for the first day, then keep covered in the refrigerator for up to another 2 days, after which the pastry crust may start to get soggy. To reheat, Heat it in a preheated oven at 150 degrees Celsius for 5-8 minutes before serving.
