Woohoo!! It’s Friday! I mean, don’t get me wrong, this week has been amazing, but so jam-packed. From traveling, to trying to figure out how to fit in work, to settling in back home. Exciting, but I’m happy to chill and bake with all the fresh late summer produce. Which by the way, how crazy is it that it’s already mid-August and we’ve officially entered into late summer? I have mixed emotions about this. But I’m excited to live out these end-of-summer days cooking and baking with all the produce.
When I arrived home on Wednesday night, I was welcomed with a box of fresh peaches from Peaches LA. I couldn’t wait to bake with them. But seeing as I had been traveling, I just wanted a quick fix – something easy. This galette was perfect. I love to make galettes with pastry dough. It takes all the extra time and hassle out of making fruit-based galettes! And personally, I find pastry dough to be even more delicious than most homemade crusts. So I layered on some blackberries and peaches and topped the galette with ice cream – simple but so perfect.

This is pretty straightforward. Toss the berries with a small amount of brown sugar, some cornstarch (to slightly thicken the sauce), and vanilla. Absolutely nothing too fancy. Which was exactly the idea. Unroll the sheet of pastry and simply layer the berries down the center. Then take thin slices of fresh peaches and layer them on top.
Since I wanted the peaches to have a buttery element to them, I melted together some sweet honey and salted butter, then poured the mix over the galette. This adds an extra layer of sweet, buttery, and salty flavors. Wrap everything up with the edges of the pastry, sprinkle with some coarse sugar, and bake away.
Every bite is bursting with sweet blueberry flavor – THE BEST! Of course, I serve this up warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s really the only way to do it if you ask me.
