Instructions
Creating a Blueberry Peach Galette is as straightforward as it is rewarding. Follow these simple steps to bake this delicious dessert:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your galette bakes evenly and develops a beautiful golden crust.
- In a bowl, mix blueberries, peach slices, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and lemon juice. This mixture will create a luscious filling that’s both sweet and tangy.
- Roll out the pie crust on a baking sheet. Aim for a rough circle to maintain the rustic charm of a galette.
- Spoon the fruit mixture onto the center of the crust, leaving a border around the edges. This border is crucial for folding the crust over the filling.
- Fold the edges of the crust over the fruit, pleating as needed. This step adds to the rustic appeal and ensures the filling stays in place.
- Brush the crust with an egg or egg wash alternative. This helps the crust achieve a golden, glossy finish.
- Dot with small pieces of butter. These will melt during baking, adding richness to the filling.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. This is when the magic happens, as the fruits soften and their juices meld with the sugar and cornstarch.
- Let cool slightly before serving. This allows the filling to set and makes slicing easier.
