Peach Raspberry Galette
AΒ simple, rustic, and honest summer fruit galette with juicy peaches, nectarines and raspberries.
It’s time for another episode of Mystery Dish! Our host for this month’s Mystery ingredients was Meriem from Culinary Coutoure. She gave us a very fun basket with these ingredients: peaches, cheddar cheese, green beans, corn, chicken, nectarines, butter, pecans, heavy cream, pesto, coconut milk/cream and challenged us to use at least three in our recipes.
I love peaches very much so I knew I had to break out the peach recipes for the season with this basket of ingredients. However there was one slight problem…I live with one of those people who think peaches are ‘bleh‘. Do you have certain foods that your significant other dislikes? (My hands are in the air!) And do you make these foods anyway?
My husband doesn’t like seafood (so frustrating!) so I don’t get to cook any at home since even the smell bothers him. I always get my fix by ordering salmon or scallop dishes at restaurants. He also doesn’t like peaches. But I refuse to let him prevent me from enjoying one of my favorite stone fruits. Individual peach cobblers, crisps or nectarine concoctions are my “I want some me time” desserts. Now this peach raspberry galette is added to the list!
With every Mystery Dish challenge I push myself to go beyond the ingredients and recipe creation challenge and try something new (baking technique wise) like this panna cotta. This was my first time making a galette and I should say I’m quite in love with them. The rustic, laissez-faire look is appealing and was perfect for our afternoon picnic I brought it to. Sadly (or not!) I was the only one who enjoyed it.
Galettes taste just like pies but they are less delicate and easy to deal with than pies. You get all the benefits of a pie (buttery crust, juicy filling and complete satisfaction) without the fuss and stress of pie baking. This peach raspberry galette is a summer fruit galore with juicy peaches, nectarines and bold raspberries wrapped in buttery, flaky crust. Just simply amazing!
Peach Raspberry Galette
AΒ simple, rustic, and honest summer fruit galette with juicy peaches, nectarines and raspberries.
Ingredients
- 1ΒΌ cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoon shortening, cold and cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ΒΌ cup ice cold water
- 2-3 firm ripe peaches (make sure they are firm so they hold their shapes during baking)
- 1 firm ripe nectarine
- Β½ cup raspberries
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ΒΌ cup brown sugar
- Β½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ΒΌ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour
- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- To make crust: combine all the ingredients in a food processor. Process a few times until butter is about the size of a pea. With processor on, slowly drizzle in ice cold water to mixture, one tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together. Remove dough from bowl and pat down into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour.
- Cut peaches in half, remove pit and slice each half into 6 slices. In a large bowl, combine peaches and vanilla extract. Add in brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cornstarch. Gently mix to combine. Fold in the raspberries.
- When dough is chilled, roll out into a 12 inch circle. (I rolled mine onto a well floured parchment to make transfer easy). Transfer to a baking sheet.
- Spoon the fruits into the center of the crust, leaving 2-3 inch borders. Fold up the sides, gently tucking in over the fruit in a folding/pleating pattern. Transfer dough to freezer and let chill for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Remove galette from freezer and brush dough with egg wash. Sprinkle dough with turbinado sugar. Bake galette for 50-55 minutes until crust is golden and juice from the fruit runs out. Let cool before serving warm.

Galettes are a favorite of mine — they’re so rustic and so much less fussy than pie! This flavor combination sounds just delicious. π
This galette looks wonderful, Zainab! I have never made a galette, but I’ve always wanted to. I love the peach + raspberry combo that you went with. So summery! I, unfortunately, am definitely one of those people who doesn’t like random foods that everyone else likes. Haha. But hey, more galette for you! π
What? You need to make one soon Beth! You make such beautiful pies this will be a breeze.
I looooove galettes! They are the best fuss-free alternative to pie. Yours is PERFECT. Great pictures too!
Thanks Meriem!!
Galette. Mmmmm… reminds me of my childhood. The smell of a galette baking. Drooool!
I have yet to make a tart or galette. I really need to. This looks awesome!
Yes!! You do π
This looks absolutely delicious! What a great idea for a galette…thanks for sharing!
Thanks Jodee!
This galette looks amazing! Peaches and raspberries are definitely two of my favourite summer fruits! I’ve got to try this one out!
They go so well together π
i love galettes! good choice.
You are amazing, girl–making beautiful desserts right and left! I would totally indulge in this peach tart with you π
Hahha thanks Ala!! I had a few back ups lol!
Every time I see one of these types of galettes I swoon! They look so impressive for not that much effort (relatively, anyway). The peach-raspberry combo sounds just divine – that’s definitely what I would choose to put in my galette!
P.S. My hubby can’t eat prawns and I find that pretty frustrating, too. He also has an aversion to couscous but yes, I do still cook it! π
They are seriously just so easy to make. I wish I knew this before hand!
I can’t believe you were the only one who enjoyed it…looks amazing!
Thanks dear! It was amazing π
I cannot believe he doesn’t like peaches or seafood? *gasp* They have to be two of my favorite foods ever! Add in a buttery crust and some sugar and I’m in dessert heaven ooooh yes! This galette looks absolutely gorgeous. I’m really liking the raspberry addition!
Hope you have a wonderful week! π
OK, at least someone understands my frustrations!! Peaches?? What’s not to love??
Our husbands must have been separated at birth. Mine hates seafood and the smell so I only make it on nights he is out with his friends. Ditto for anything with peaches. I love the idea of making a galette as one does not have to fuss with the crust formation as much as a traditional pie crust. I think I will try this one and share it with those who appreciate peaches. π
These men are ridiculous!! I got some scallops last night and I am waiting for him to go camping so I can grill it lol!
