My Favorite Fruity Dessert!
My mother’s side of the family has very deep French roots, so French cuisine is something that was frequently served in our home. To this day, one of my very favorites is my mother’s galette recipe. Galette is a term used in French cuisine for various types of flat, round, or freeform crusty cakes. Mom would create delicious galettes using a variety of fruits such as peaches, nectarines, apples, etc. I layered the flavors of her Peach Galette recipe by adding blueberries… so much yumminess! Combining fresh peaches and blueberries creates a beautiful flavor profile that marries the two delicious fruits… fabulous! My husband absolutely loves this recipe, and I love how simple it is to make. If time allows, I will make my own crust… However, using a premade crust is such a time saver and is equally as delicious. With the Texas peach season coming to an end, I thought I would share this recipe for one last peach dessert hoorah! We are a split home in terms of peach preferences… I love Freestone County peaches while my husband prefers Parker County peaches. Regardless of your peach preference, this recipe is FABULOUS. Enjoy!

Easy Peach Blueberry Galette
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce package refrigerated pie dough
- 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 3 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1 whole egg, beaten
- 1 Tbsp. milk
- 1 tsp. turbinado sugar
- vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll 1 dough portion into a 12-inch circle; place on parchment paper. Sprinkle both sides with flour.
- In a medium-sized bowl, gently combine peaches, blueberries, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Arrange peach mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2 to 3-inch border. Moving in one direction, fold edges of dough toward center, pressing gently to seal (dough will partially cover peach mixture).
- In a small bowl, beat egg and milk. Gently brush egg mixture over edges of the dough and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350° (do not remove from oven); bake an additional 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Fresh peaches are my preference during peach season, but frozen peaches and blueberries are a great alternative any time of year.
- If using fresh peaches the juice may overflow, but it will not ruin your crust.
- I recommend lining your baking sheet with these pop-up parchment paper sheets for ease and mess-free cleanup.
- I use Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust which has two pieces of dough in one carton. Use one and keep the other frozen for future use. You can also use your favorite recipe for pie dough.
- Make it gluten-free with your favorite gluten-free pie dough, and gluten-free flour.
- For added flavor, top the galette with 1 tablespoon butter pieces prior to baking.
This dessert is absolutely phenomenal and serves as the perfect sweet treat! I hope you enjoy!
