Best Cherry Peach Pantry Galette Recipes

CHERRY CREAM CHEESE GALETTE

Steps:

• For the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt together in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal with some pea-size lumps. Drizzle in the vinegar and 4 tablespoons of the water; pulse until a dough starts to come together. If the mixture is too dry, add more water, a teaspoon at a time.
• Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, form into a disk and wrap well. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• For the filling: Beat the cream cheese, egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, and the vanilla in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.
• In another bowl, toss the cherries with the cornstarch and the remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
• Finish the galette: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll the dough out to a 12-inch round. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Spoon the cherries over the cream cheese, leaving any excess juice in the bowl. Fold the edges of the dough over so they just barely cover some of the filling.
• Beat the egg white with a splash of water and brush it over the crust. Sprinkle the Demerara sugar evenly over the filling and crust.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

PEACH-CHERRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Unroll the pie crust on a large baking sheet. Place the peach slices in the center of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle the cherries over the peaches, and then top with the sugar and cinnamon. Pull up the sides of crust slightly and roll over towards the center, covering the filling by 1 to 2 inches. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHERRY AND PEACH GALETTE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Butter a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon butter. Unfold 1 sheet puff pastry on a floured surface. Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush over the dough. Unfold the other sheet of puff pastry and lay it on top; press the sheets together with a rolling pin, then roll out into a 14-inch square. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. (Refrigerate the leftover egg wash for brushing the galette.)
• Combine the sugar, allspice, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice in a large bowl; transfer 2 tablespoons of the mixture to a small bowl and set aside for sprinkling. Add the cherries, peaches and 3 tablespoons flour to the remaining sugar mixture and toss.
• Trim the edges of the pastry with a pizza wheel or sharp knife to make a 12-inch round. Spoon the cherry mixture in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Cut the remaining 1 tablespoon butter into small pieces and scatter on top. Fold in the pastry edges over the filling, pleating as needed.
• Bake the galette until puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Remove the galette from the oven, brush the crust with the reserved egg wash and sprinkle with the reserved sugar mixture. Return the galette to the oven and bake until the juices thicken and the pastry is cooked through, 30 to 45 more minutes (depending on the juiciness of the cherries). Transfer to a rack and let cool at least 10 minutes so the filling sets.
