- 1 cup fresh peaches, thinly sliced - 1 cup fresh blueberries Fresh peaches add a sweet, juicy burst to the galette. I love their soft texture and bright flavor. Blueberries bring a nice tartness, which balances the sweetness of the peaches. Together, they create a wonderful mix that is both colorful and tasty. - 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade) - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar - 1 tablespoon cornstarch A pre-made pie crust saves time and makes this recipe simple. You can use your favorite store brand or make your own if you prefer. The sugar helps sweeten the fruit, while cornstarch thickens the juices. This way, the filling stays nice and holds together when you slice it. - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice - Pinch of sea salt for sprinkling Vanilla extract adds a warm, sweet note to the fruit. Lemon juice brightens the flavors and adds a bit of zing. A pinch of sea salt brings out the sweetness, making the fruit pop. These simple flavors work together to create a great taste. - 1 egg - 1 tablespoon milk The egg and milk mixture creates a glossy finish on the crust. This wash makes the galette look golden and inviting. It’s an easy way to give your dessert a professional touch. You can brush it on before baking for a beautiful finish. For the complete recipe, check out the [Full Recipe]. First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is key for a great bake. Next, take a medium bowl and mix the sliced peaches and blueberries. Add the sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Gently toss everything together. Let it sit for 15 minutes. This helps the flavors blend. Now it’s time to roll out the pie crust. On a floured surface, roll it to about 12 inches wide. Be gentle and even. Once it's ready, transfer the crust to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure it's centered so it bakes evenly. Spoon the fruit mixture into the center of your crust. Leave a 2-inch border all around. This is where you will fold the crust over the fruit later. Start folding the edges over the filling. Create nice folds that overlap. This not only looks good but also keeps the filling inside. Now, let’s get it in the oven! Bake the galette for 25 to 30 minutes. Watch for the crust to turn golden brown. You’ll see the fruit bubbling, which means it’s ready. Once it’s done, take it out and let it cool for a bit. This helps the juices set. Now you're ready to slice and enjoy this Peach Blueberry Galette! Check out the Full Recipe for more details. To make your galette shine, adjust the sweetness to suit your taste. Start with the sugar amount in the recipe. If you prefer it sweeter, add a bit more sugar. If you like it tart, cut back. Marinating the fruit is another secret. After mixing the peaches and blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and lemon juice, let it sit for 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to blend well. You will notice a juicy, flavorful filling when you bake it. A soggy bottom can ruin your galette. To avoid this, sprinkle some cornstarch on the pie crust before adding the fruit filling. This will help absorb excess juice and keep your crust crisp. For a flaky crust, handle it gently. When rolling out the dough, don’t press too hard. Make sure to use cold ingredients, like butter, for a better texture. It creates little pockets of air that help the crust puff up as it bakes. Toppings can elevate your galette. I recommend serving it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cold cream pairs well with the warm fruit. For a lovely presentation, slice the galette into wedges. You can sprinkle fresh mint leaves on top for added color and freshness. This small touch makes your dessert look even more inviting. For the complete recipe, check out the [Full Recipe]. {{image_4}} You can change up the fruits in your galette. Adding strawberries or raspberries gives a new twist. These berries add sweetness and a bit of tartness. You can also mix in spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Just a sprinkle can warm up the flavors. It makes your galette even more inviting and cozy. If you need a gluten-free option, you can use a gluten-free pie crust. Many brands make tasty alternatives. For vegan bakers, swap the egg wash for a plant-based milk wash. This keeps your galette golden and yummy. You can also adjust the sugar. Use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar for a healthier choice. Seasonal fruits can change your galette's vibe. In fall, try using apples and cranberries. This combo gives a nice, tart flavor that is perfect for chilly days. In summer, use other berries like blackberries or cherries. They add a burst of freshness and color to your dessert. Each season brings new flavors to explore! For more details on making this delightful dessert, check out the Full Recipe. Before you store your galette, let it cool for about 30 minutes. This cooling time helps set the filling and keeps the crust crispy. Once cool, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. You can also place it in an airtight container. This will keep your galette fresh and tasty for days. If you want to save some for later, you can freeze your galette. Start by letting it cool completely. Then, wrap it in plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil to protect it from freezer burn. When you want to eat it, simply thaw it in the fridge overnight. To reheat, bake it in a 350°F (180°C) oven for about 15 to 20 minutes. This will help restore the crispiness. Your peach blueberry galette will stay fresh in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days. Keep an eye out for any signs of spoilage. If you see mold or if it smells off, it's best to toss it. Enjoying this dessert at its best ensures you get all the wonderful flavors. To make a galette from scratch, you need a simple crust. Start with flour, butter, and water. Mix them until they form a dough. Chill the dough for 30 minutes. This makes it easier to roll out. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a round shape. You want it thin but strong enough to hold the filling. This technique creates that lovely rustic look. Yes, you can use frozen fruit. Frozen fruit is convenient and lasts longer. It is often picked at peak ripeness. However, it can release more juice when thawed. This may make the filling a bit runnier. If you use frozen fruit, let it thaw. Drain any excess juice before mixing with sugar and cornstarch. Fresh fruit offers brighter flavors and firmer texture. Both have their pros and cons. A galette is simpler than a pie. It has no pie dish and is freeform. You roll out the dough and fold the edges over fruit. This method creates a more rustic look. A pie is baked in a dish and usually has a top crust. Galettes are quicker to make and easier to handle. Both are delicious, but the galette is more relaxed. Serve a galette warm or at room temperature. Slice it into wedges for easy sharing. Top each slice with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. This adds creaminess and sweetness. A sprinkle of fresh mint can add color and freshness. You can also serve it with a side of custard for a special treat. Enjoy the beauty and taste of this simple dessert.

Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh peaches, thinly sliced

1 cup fresh blueberries

2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to your desired sweetness)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade if you prefer)

1 egg (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)

A pinch of sea salt for sprinkling

Optional: whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot enough for baking.

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches and blueberries. Sprinkle in the sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Gently toss the mixture to ensure the fruit is well-coated. Allow it to sit for 15 minutes so the juices can meld beautifully.

      On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust to a round shape approximately 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the rolled crust to a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring it's centered.

        Carefully spoon the peach and blueberry mixture into the center of the crust, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges to fold over later.

          Start folding the edges of the pie crust over the fruit filling, creating folds and an overlapping pleated effect. This not only adds beauty but also holds the filling securely.

            In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create a glossy egg wash. Use a pastry brush to apply this mixture generously over the crust, which will give it a lovely golden-brown color as it bakes. Finish by sprinkling a pinch of sea salt on top for an added touch of flavor.

              Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown and the fruit filling begins to bubble invitingly.

                Once baked, remove the galette from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
