What is a Galette?
A galette is like a slice of heaven wrapped in a warm pastry hug! It's a French delight that's as charming and rustic as it sounds. Imagine a flat, round cake, either made of flaky pastry dough or those thin, pancake-like pastries – both equally delightful.
In our case, we're talking about a scrumptious fruit-filled galette, encased in a buttery puff pastry crust that's bursting with juicy goodness. Just think of it as a cozy, casual way to enjoy all those beautiful seasonal fruits. It's one of those desserts that feel like a warm embrace on a lazy summer day or any day, really!

Fresh Peaches VS. Frozen/Canned Peaches
I love working with fresh peaches, harnessing their juicy and vibrant essence to elevate the galette's taste. However, versatility is key, as you can absolutely embrace the option of frozen peaches. These little gems are available throughout the year, offering the taste of summer regardless of the calendar.
Tips For Using Frozen/Canned Peaches
If opting for a frozen approach, prioritize peaches without added sugar, and ensure a thorough thawing process before incorporation. Canned peaches, packed in their natural juices, are also a great choice—just give them a rinse and gentle pat to minimize excess moisture. Although their texture might slightly vary, they provide both convenience and a year-round hint of that cherished summer taste.
Summer Peach Apple Galette Q + A's
Keep the leftover galette tightly wrapped with heavy-duty plastic wrap and foil paper and refrigerated for 3-4 days. Re-heat each slice when serving.
To make this galette entirely vegan and dairy-free, simply ensure that the puff pastry brand used is vegan-friendly, sub the butter with vegan butter ( I love using the brand Earth Balance), add melted vegan butter (w/ 1 tablespoon of maple syrup mixed together) in place of the egg wash.
Yes, you can certainly experiment with different fruits! While the recipe is specifically for a Peach + Apple Galette, you can use other fruits like berries, plums, or even a mix of seasonal fruits. The galette's flaky crust and rustic charm work well with various fruit fillings.
Absolutely, you can find details in my Vegan Berry Galette recipe, about crafting your own homemade crust for an extra touch of customization.
Certainly! Just swap out the regular puff pastry sheets with gluten-free ones, and you're all set to enjoy a delicious GF version of the Summer Peach Apple Galette.

Easy Summer Apple Peach Galette [with Puff Pastry]
Ingredients
CRUST:
- 1 (14 oz.) package premium puff pastry sheets (You may use two packages for a thicker/fuller crust; See Post for Homemade Crust details!)
- 1 egg wash (That's 1 egg + 1 tablespoon milk)
- 2 Tbsps organic brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
FILLING:
- 2 organic Gala apples, sliced thin (See Post for best types of Apples to use)
- 3 medium peaches, sliced thin (If using canned peaches, 2 (15oz.) cans drained, rinsed, + patted dry will do!)
- ½ cup organic brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon organic flour or arrowroot
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 teaspoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a medium 10-inch non-stick skillet with butter or oil.
TO MAKE THE FILLING:
- In a large bowl, add the sliced apples + peaches and toss together with the lemon juice, brown sugar, flour or arrowroot, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and vanilla, mixing until combined and peaches + apples are fully coated.
ASSEMBLY:
- Remove pastry sheets from packaging and roll out in the greased skillet, stretching it a bit all around so that you can fold upward. Spoon the peaches + apple filling (omitting the juices) into the center of the puff pastry and spread evenly. Then, tuck in the pieces of butter in between the peaches + apples. Using your hands, gently fold the excess dough upwards all around until they overlap and the galette becomes a nice circular shape in the skillet. NOTE: You can use 2 packages of puff pastry for a thicker/fuller crust if desired. You may only need 1 ½ of the pastry sheets if you do.
- Lightly brush the tops + edges puff pastry crust with egg wash to create a nice seal, gently pressing the overlapped edges down so that it's "closed".
BAKE THE GALETTE:
- Bake galette for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown + become puffy and the filling in the center is bubbling.
- Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving with your favorite ice cream or whipped cream.
- Bon Appetit!
Tips & Tricks
- STORAGE: Store any leftovers in a tightly covered container or glass dish (sliced) covered and refrigerated for 3-4 days. To reheat, simply add leftover peach cobbler to a preheated oven of 375 degrees until warmed through.
- SALTED VS. UNSALTED BUTTER: You can always substitute the salted butter with unsalted butter. When doing so, you can omit the salt as an ingredient.
- VEGAN OPTION: To make this galette entirely vegan and dairy-free, simply ensure that the puff pastry brand used is vegan-friendly, sub the butter with vegan butter, and melted vegan butter (w/ 1 tablespoon of maple syrup mixed together) in place of the egg wash.
