Rustic Summer Fruit Galette Recipe
Description
The Rustic Summer Fruit Galette Recipe features an almond flour-enriched frangipane base spread over a thinly rolled pie crust. The frangipane combines melted butter, sugar, eggs, almond and all-purpose flours, and almond extract, lending a moist, nutty layer beneath the seasonal fruit topping. The fruit arrangement typically includes a medley of stone fruits such as peaches, plums, or nectarines, alongside various fresh berries, allowing the natural juices to meld into the frangipane as it bakes.
Baked in a 425°F oven until the crust crisps to a golden hue and the fruit softens, this galette balances a crisp, buttery exterior with soft, juicy, and slightly caramelized fruit filling. The folded edges of the crust create a rustic frame that holds the filling securely.
This galette is well suited for serving as a dessert after summer meals or as a seasonal treat with tea or coffee. It pairs nicely with a scoop of vanilla ice cream which melts over the warm fruit. Leftovers can be stored covered at room temperature for one day or refrigerated for up to three days and gently reheated in a low oven to restore its texture.
