Peaches and raspberries are a great, but underused summer fruit combination. When you cook them down and mix them together they look like a beautiful summer sunset. Bet ya didn’t know fruit could be so romantic 😉
I decided to combine these two fruits to make a light, fruity galette for you all this week and guys, it is.good.
The filling of this is the real star and it’s surrounded by a thin, flaky layer of pastry. There are no weird, random ingredients and it’s so easy to put together.
When I’m making the dough I like to use a food processor instead of my hands because we want the butter to be as cold as possible. Feel free to use your hands if you want to, but just be aware that your hands are likely to warm the butter up which will result in a crust that isn’t quite as flaky.
I tend to cut the butter into cubes, then place it back in the fridge so it’s as cold as possible when I need it. Nothin’ beats a flaky crust.
The filling is sweet, but not overpoweringly sweet and the cinnamon and nutmeg add a little extra deliciousness to every bite.
This is good on it’s own, but also tastes good with a dollop of whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Happy baking!
