Easy Peach Galette Recipe

When fruits are in season, we usually like them fresh or I prepare a quick and simple dessert. It seems like these rustic and quick desserts have the special flavor of the homemade dessert. I myself haven't had the patience lately to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I'm trying not to complicate things, so I can enjoy more free time but, at the same time, I like to spoil my family with something special for dessert. And this peach galette was literally devoured - flavorful, with a crunchy texture and slightly jelly-like filling, it actually melted off the plate...

I really like this tart dough. Although it's vegan, it's very easy to work, the ingredients are always at hand, and the filling options are countless, sweet or salty. You can find a similar pastry recipe in the Apple and Blueberry Galette, but the ratio of oil to water is a little different there. The results are similar, you can choose the one you want. I would say that this peach galette is ideal, but you can always use other seasonal fruits or the ones you have at hand - apples, apricots, plums, pears etc.

Step 9

Transfer carefully to a large baking sheet, lined with baking paper.

Notice that the edges of the pastry are slightly bigger than the sheet so, when you shape the circle with the rolling pin you can use the size of your sheet as a guide and add a few extra inches.

Step 11

You can top with any favorite fruit, cut as you like - into cubes, large or small slices etc.

I had thin slices and I will show you how I spread them to make the tart look more beautiful. So, I cut the peaches into halves or quarters and I pitted them. Then I thinly sliced each piece, see the picture.
