About this Galette
I’m going to be honest, I didn’t know what a galette was until another food blogger posted a savory one. I thought it looked pretty delicious (and easy), so I thought I'd give it a try. The result: pretty easy — and delicious! They call this the lazy man's pie and I'm here for it!
This delicious Peach Berry Galette combines two summery fruits. The sweet peaches caramelize in the oven while the blackberries ooze and become just so juicy and sweet all on a thin, crispy, flaky buttery crust. It surpassed my expectations and Jack and I absolutely devoured it!
Enjoy it with a scoop of ice cream and a cup of coffee, or chilled! Or get creative with your toppings and try other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cherries or apples.
And if you love fruity desserts, you should also these Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls, this Healthy Peach Crisp, or this Peach Bundt Cake that I think you'll love, too!
Recipe Ingredients
- Blackberries: Sweet, tart, and juicy, these berries are perfect to use in summer desserts.
- Fresh Peaches: Summer is prime time to use this sweet and juicy fresh fruit
- Pie Crust: I recommend using a pre-made traditional pie for convenience found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. I think puff pastry would also work for an even flakier galette.
- Honey: Gooey and sweet! The stickiness helps act as a binding agent, too.
- Almonds: I used sliced almonds.
- Cinnamon: As a warming spice, it pairs so well with fruits, especially peaches.

Substitutions and Variations
This Peach Berry Galette combines two summery fruits, but you could totally use what's in season (from your local farmers market if possible!) or just what you enjoy the most! Here's a breakdown of fruits I think would taste fabulous by season:
- Winter: Apples, pears, pomegranate
- Spring: Apples, apricots, kiwi, pineapple
- Summer: Fresh blueberries, cherries, mango, peaches, plums, raspberries, strawberries (a Strawberry Peach Galette and/or a Blueberry Peach Galette are definitely next on my list to try!)
- Fall: Apples, cranberries, figs
How to Make This Recipe
1. Wash and dry peaches and blackberries. You'll want to make sure they have ample time to dry before starting this recipe. Preheat oven to 350°F. Then, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well. This will create a sugar paste. Roll your pre-made pie crust flat onto the lined sheet pan. Use a rubber baster brush (or butter knife) to coat the galette dough with the sugar paste. Leave a 1 ½” border around the edges of the dough.
3. Sprinkle flour onto the pie crust. Finely slice peaches into ¼” strips. Layer sliced peaches in the center of the dough, being sure to leave the 1 ½” border. Place blackberries around the perimeter of the peaches.
4. Carefully fold over the 1 ½” border to create a crust. You may need to scoot your peaches inward for more room to shape your free form pie don't worry about it being flawlessly shaped! this is a rustic peach tart not a perfect pie). Brush egg wash on the folded crust and gently place sliced almonds on it. You can also sprinkle some cane sugar for a sweeter, flaky crust.
5. Bake on the middle rack for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, or serve chilled.
Pro Tip
- You want the fruit to be very dry because extra moisture will leak through the pie crust. If you have extra juicy peaches, pat them dry with a paper towel before adding them to the center of the crust.
- Line your pan with parchment paper so the bottom of the galette doesn't burn.
- Ensure that both the sugar mixture and fruit are evenly spread on pie crust. Too much overlapping will result in a soggy crust.
- Use a rolling pin to smooth out any cracks in your pie dough before assembling your rustic galette
Recipe FAQs
Store in the refrigerator for 1-3 days covered with tin foil, plastic wrap or in an airtight container. I like to reheat in a toaster oven to keep the crusty crisp and flaky.
Yes! You'll want to ensure your fruit filling is super dry before assembling (pat any juicy fruit dry with paper towel before assembling) to avoid a soggy crust, but otherwise this will hold up well overnight.
For this Peach Galette Recipe I used the whole egg, but it's really up to you. The purpose of the egg wash is to make the flaky pastry crust a beautiful golden brown and shiny color. You can choose to do your own crust with just egg whites for a lighter crust, or use just the egg yolk for a darker and richer color.
A galette more closely resembles a pie with flaky pastry dough, whereas a tart has a shortbread, almost cookie-like crust.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this galette warm as a delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or with a dollop of whipped cream, or smear of cream cheese, or with a cup of tea or coffee. You can also enjoy warm or chilled. It tastes delicious either way!
Serve this with a brunch spread with some Goat Cheese Scrambled Eggs and a side of Crispy Breakfast Potatoes for a complete meal.

The pre-made pie crust makes this recipe too easy!! And it's also absolutely bursting with flavor with all the fresh fruit. I cut both the sugar and honey in half and had this for breakfast to avoid too much of a sugar rush in the morning, but paired with some vanilla greek yogurt for extra protein it made for the most delicious and satisfying morning treat!! With cooler weather approaching I am definitely going to try this recipe with apples to incorporate some fall flavors😍😍
