We had a bunch of overripe peaches and nectarines in the fridge that was too soft and squishy to eat so I sliced them up and threw them into a store bought pastry and some sugar and spices to bake a galette. This is a delicious and rustic dessert that’s so easy to make.
What Is A Galette?
A galette is a free form tart that is easier to make than a traditional pie. I use store bought puff pastry for most of my galettes. I love that you can fill it with any type of seasonal fruits and pop it into the oven. It’s simple and rustic and presents well.
Ingredients:
- one teaspoon of lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla essence (I would have used the pods if I had them)
- One teaspoon of brown coconut sugar
- a sprinkle of ground nutmeg
- a sprinkle of ground cinnamon
- Add some lemon zest (optional)
This is a spontaneous, cook as you go recipe, so taste and adjust how you’d like yours, more tart, more sweet and add a little more sugar or lemon juice. I used store bought filo pastry puff for the base and just folded it over the fruit mix.
Brush egg over the galette before popping it into the oven.
Bake for 35-40minutes at 180-200ºc or until golden brown.
Serve with Vanilla icecream!
It’s definitely a novice recipe who wants to try some basic baking.
