To enhance the taste, gather these ingredients: - 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - 1 tablespoon coarse sugar, for sprinkling Lemon juice adds a nice zing.

With these ingredients, you set the stage for a delicious Peach Raspberry Galette. {{ingredient_image_2}} First, heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it warms, get your baking sheet ready. Line it with parchment paper. This step stops the galette from sticking and makes cleanup easy. Next, take a medium bowl and add the sliced peaches and raspberries. Pour in the lemon juice and one tablespoon of sugar. Add the vanilla extract, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until the fruit is well coated. Set this aside to let the flavors mix. Now, place a lightly floured surface in front of you. Roll out your pie crust into a circle about 12 inches wide. Carefully transfer the crust to the lined baking sheet. Spoon your fruit mixture into the center. Leave about a 2-inch border around the edges. Fold the crust edges over the fruit, creating a rustic look. In a small bowl, crack an egg and whisk it. Use a pastry brush to spread the egg wash on the crust. This gives the galette a nice golden color. Sprinkle the remaining sugar and some coarse sugar over the crust. Now, place the galette into the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes. You want the crust to be golden and the fruit to bubble. Once it’s done, let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices settle nicely. To make your galette shine, select ripe peaches and fresh raspberries. Look for peaches that feel slightly soft when you press them. They should have a sweet scent and a vibrant color. Avoid ones with blemishes. For raspberries, pick ones that are plump and firm. They should be deep red and not mushy. Check for any signs of mold or decay. Fresh fruit helps create the best flavor in your galette. A great crust is key to a tasty galette. If you use a ready-made pie crust, choose one that is all-butter for rich flavor. If you make your own, use cold butter and chill the dough in the fridge. Roll the dough evenly to about 12 inches wide. Keep a light hand while folding the edges. This creates a rustic look and holds the filling well. Dust the surface with flour to prevent sticking. An egg wash adds a lovely shine to your galette. Crack one egg in a bowl and whisk it well. Use a pastry brush to coat the crust's edges lightly. This will turn golden brown as it bakes. For extra crunch and sweetness, sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the egg wash. This simple step enhances your galette's appearance and makes it more inviting. Pro Tips Choose Ripe Fruits: For the best flavor, select peaches that are slightly soft to the touch and fragrant. Raspberries should be plump and vibrant in color. This ensures a naturally sweet and juicy filling. Homemade Crust Option: If you're feeling adventurous, try making your own pie crust from scratch. It’s easier than you might think and will elevate the overall taste and texture of your galette. Let It Cool: Allow the galette to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices set, making for cleaner slices and a more enjoyable presentation. Serve with Ice Cream: For a delightful dessert experience, serve warm slices of galette with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The contrast of temperatures will enhance your tasting experience. {{image_4}} You can switch up the fruits in your galette. Try using apples, pears, or blueberries instead. Each fruit brings its unique flavor. Apples add a crisp bite. Pears lend a sweet softness. Blueberries burst with juice. Mix and match for fun flavor combos. Just keep the sugar amount similar, so the filling stays sweet. A plain crust is great, but you can add flavor. Try mixing in some cinnamon or nutmeg into the dough. This adds warmth and depth. You can also use a store-bought crust with a touch of lemon zest. It brightens the taste. Experiment with different flavors to find your favorite. Spices can make your galette shine. Consider adding a pinch of ginger or cardamom to the fruit mixture. These spices enhance the fruit's natural taste. You can also sprinkle some vanilla bean seeds for a rich note. If you like, add a touch of almond extract for a nutty finish. Spices open up new flavor paths, making each slice special. To keep your galette fresh, let it cool to room temperature first. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Store it in the fridge for up to three days. This helps keep the crust from getting too soggy. If you plan to eat it later, try not to cover it too tightly. When you’re ready to enjoy leftover galette, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the galette on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Heat it for about 10-15 minutes. This will make the crust crispy again and warm the fruit. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the crust soft and chewy. If you want to save your galette for longer, freezing is a great option. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer bag. You can freeze it for up to three months. When you're ready, let it thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. This keeps the flavors intact and ensures a tasty treat later on! Yes, you can make the crust from scratch. A simple dough needs flour, butter, and cold water. Mix them until crumbly, then form a ball. Chill it for 30 minutes before rolling. This gives you a fresh taste and great texture. If you want ease, use a ready-made pie crust. It saves time and works well too. Look for a golden-brown crust. The edges should be crisp and firm. You can also check the fruit. It should bubble and look juicy. If the crust is golden and the fruit is bubbling, your galette is ready to come out of the oven. Serve your galette warm or at room temperature. A scoop of vanilla ice cream pairs perfectly. Whipped cream adds a nice touch, too. You can also sprinkle fresh raspberries on top for color and flavor. Enjoy experimenting with toppings!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces ripe peaches, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 ready-made pie crust or your own homemade crust
  • 1 piece egg, for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar, for sprinkling
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it's warming up, prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches and raspberries. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar, the pure vanilla extract, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Carefully toss the mixture until the fruit is evenly coated with the ingredients, then set it aside to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust into a rough circle, aiming for about 12 inches in diameter. Once rolled out, transfer the crust onto the prepared baking sheet, taking care to keep it centered.
  • Spoon the luscious fruit mixture into the center of the crust, making sure to leave a generous 2-inch border clear around the edges to allow for folding.
  • Gently fold the edges of the crust over the fruit filling, creating a rustic pleated border as you go. This not only holds the filling but also adds a delightful texture.
  • In a small bowl, crack the egg and whisk it until smooth. Use a pastry brush to apply the egg wash over the exposed crust. This will give your galette a beautiful golden glaze when baked. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of granulated sugar and the coarse sugar evenly over the crust for a touch of sweetness and a lovely crunch.
  • Place the galette in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is a rich golden brown and you can see the fruit bubbling joyfully.
  • Once baked, carefully remove the galette from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices settle.

Notes

For a delightful treat, serve warm or at room temperature. Consider adding a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fluffy whipped cream on the side, garnished with a few extra fresh raspberries for a pop of color and freshness!
