A Peach Raspberry Galette is a rustic and charming dessert that showcases the sweet harmony of peaches and raspberries enveloped in a flaky pastry crust. This dessert is less fussy than a traditional pie and beautifully presents the fruits’ natural flavors and colors. By simply folding the pastry over the fruit filling and baking it until golden, the galette offers a delightful mix of textures, from the crisp crust to the juicy, bursting flavors of the fruit. Ideal for a casual gathering or a summertime treat, this galette pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
