Easy Peach-Plum Galette

My son and I have been baking together since he could stand and hold a spatula. It’s a bond that is special to me, and I’m grateful that we can continue to bake together when he is at home on break from college. This delicious and easy peach plum galette recipe is a collaboration between us that we came up with when we were at home isolated with Covid.

You can use any stone fruit in this beautiful galette. Peaches and plums are in season through September in California and this pastry is a perfect marriage of sweet, bitter, and buttery yumminess. Your family and friends will be impressed with your culinary skills! Surprisingly, it only takes 10 minutes to prep, then pop it in the oven for a glorious dessert.

Instructions

Crust

1. Take crust out of the fridge and lay on lightly floured parchment paper until a bit above room temperature. Roll out the dough into a 12 inch circle, 1/8 inch thick. Transfer it to a large, heavy baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 400°.

Make the filling

1. In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp. of sugar with the ground almonds and flour. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough to within 2 inches of the edge. Arrange the peach and plum wedges on top, and dot with butter. Sprinkle 1 Tblsp of sugar over the fruit. Fold the edge of the dough up over the plums to create a 2-inch border. (If the dough feels cold and firm, wait for a few minutes until it softens to prevent it from cracking.) Sprinkle the border with the reserved 1 tsp. of sugar.

Bake the galette

1. Bake the galette in the middle of the oven for about 50 minutes, until the fruit is very soft and bubbling, and the crust is richly browned. If any juices have leaked onto the baking sheet, slide a knife under the galette to release it from the sheet. Brush the preserves over the hot fruit and up onto the crust. Let the galette cool to room temperature before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
