These summer fruit galettes are a perfect treat for any summer gathering. Filled with a combination of ripe summer fruits like peaches, berries, and apricots, wrapped in a flaky pastry crust, and baked to golden perfection. They are sure to impress your guests and satisfy your cravings for something sweet and fruity.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup ice water
  • 4 cups mixed summer fruits (such as peaches, berries, and apricots), sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Turbinado sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss together the sliced fruits, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into 4 equal-sized circles. Place the fruit mixture in the center of each circle, leaving a border around the edges.
  6. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating as needed. Brush the edges of the dough with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar, if desired.
  7. Bake the galettes for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving.
  8. Enjoy your delicious summer fruit galettes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
