OH my. I made the Blueberry Peach Galette last night.
I told you about in my Menu Monday this week.
Incredibly easy. Incredibly pretty. Incredibly delicious.
So easy, I made it while I was on the phone with my friend Mary Catherine. She didn't know I was baking :)
Blueberry Peach Galette (credit: Cooking Light)
Note: I halved the Cooking Light recipe, but would definitely do 2 Galettes if we had company over. They just need to bake separately.
Ingredients:
1 pie crust (I used half of Pillsbury 15 oz pkg)
3 cups fresh (or frozen) peeled and sliced peaches
1/2 cup blueberries
1/8 cup sugar
1 Tbsp apricot preserves, melted
1/2 Tbsp sugar
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the dough onto the middle of the cookie sheet.
Combine the peaches, blueberries...
...and 1/8 cup sugar. Stir to combine.
Spread into the middle of the dough, leaving a 3-inch border.
Fold the dough up towards the center and gently pinch edges together.
Grab your melted preserves and spread over the crust.
This is ready for the oven!
Stick in 425 oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 (don't open oven door) and bake for 20 more minutes.
It looks, and smells, like heaven when it comes out of that oven.
Sprinkle 1/2 Tbsp sugar (fine, turbinado sugar if you have it, I didn't and it was fine).
Good gracious.
I made Keith come into the kitchen to see how pretty this was. He wanted a piece immediately!
Serve warm or at room temperature. I cut ours into 4 slices.
Oh, it was good. So very good. Pretty light, not heavy at all. I loved the thin pie crust!
It probably helped that our peaches were outstanding, fresh from a local produce stand.
It would be great with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream, too!
I think tonight I'll make one using strawberries and blueberries. Will let you know how it turns out!
****Update****
The stawberry/blueberry version was FANTASTIC! I made the recipe exactly as above, just swapping stawberries for peaches. It was divine! I think I may even like it better, not sure!
This one did have a lot more fruit juice running out when I took it out of the oven. I just soaked it up with a few paper towels, but it didn't affect the quality of the crust at all. Just wanted to give that heads up!
Anyway, make one of these, like now.

I'm going to try this. It looks SOO good!
On another note, I have made your strawberry banana bread twice and both times they were fantastic, but my glaze was just liquid. It was awful and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. The only thing I can think of is the cream cheese isn't soft enough because it ends up being in a million different chunks as opposed to completely blending!
Yum - This looks so delicious! I have always wanted to make a galette (is that weird???) and think I need to try this one soon.
Oh my goodness that looks delicious! I'll definitely have to try it :)
The apricot glaze makes the crust so pretty, too! My recipe calls for brushing with softened or melted butter, and I sprinkled that with cinnamon sugar before baking. Next time I might try the apricot instead. :)
