Notes

  • I like to dust the galette with icing sugar once baked as there is no added sugar and this gives it a little sweetness but also looks pretty.
  • Make sure the oven is preheated or else the galette will not bake up well and get soggy,
  • If the peaches are sour then add some brown sugar to the mixture to sweeten it up.
