The peach season here in Florida is definitely coming to an end.ย 

Of course, I am trying to take full advantage of the peaches that are still available to use in recipes. I was thinking about making a delicious peach pie, but making pie crust is my least favorite thing to do as a baker. I also wanted to make something that was rustic but still feels like a gourmet dessert.ย 

Enter the peach galette!

What is a galette?

A galette is a flat round or freeform tart or pastry that is similar to a pancake. It can be filled with a sweet or savory filling.ย 

What is the difference between a galette and a pie?

The difference between a galette and a pie is that pies are baked in a dish and galettes are baked on a baking sheet. A galette has shallow sides that wrap around the filling. A galette is also easier to make because it is rustic and essentially formless.ย 

How do you make a Peach Galette?

A peach galette can be made with a homemade crust but today I am opting to use a ready-made version that I grabbed in the refrigerated section at my local grocery store. The package comes with two pie crusts and this recipe will make two peach galettes. The recipe can be cut in half to make one.ย 

The recipe begins by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F. and lining two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Roll out the pie crusts on top of the parchment paper and set aside.ย 

Thinly slice the peaches and place into a large bowl. Add sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and toss until the peaches are evenly coated.ย

Divide the peach mixture in half and spoon into the center of each pie crust. Make sure to leave enough room on the edge to fold over.

Place in the oven and bake 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the peach mixture is hot and bubbly. Allow the peach galettes to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting to serve.ย 

How do you store a galette?

After baking it is perfectly fine to store a galette at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours. After that, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days. An uncooked galette may be stored in the freezer in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag up to 1 month.ย

    I also love to use store bought pie crust. Because why not! The galette is my favorite. It always looks fancy and rustic all in one! And I so want to try the pineapple tart you have on your site.
