Peach-Plum Galette

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 pound peaches, cut into 3/4"-thick wedges
  • 1 pound plumbs, cut into 3/4"-thick wedges
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger (optional)
  • Extra-flakey pastry dough, chilled
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • Softly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Combine cornstarch, lime zest, salt, and 1/3 cup sugar in a medium bowl.  Toss with your hands to combine, then add fruit and toss to coat.  Add lime juice, vanilla, and ginger (if using); toss gently.

Step 2: Arrange fruit mixture in the center of chilled dough (still on parchment paper on a baking sheet) and spread out evenly, leaving a 3″ border.  Fold edges of dough up and over fruit, pleating as needed and being careful that the folded edge of dough doesn’t tear (if it does, patch with dough scraps and pinch to seal).  Pour cream into a small bowl and brush all over dough.  Sprinkle sugar evenly over dough.

Step 3: Place galette in oven and immediately reduce heat to 375 degrees F.  Bake, rotating halfway through, until crust is deep golden brown everywhere, fruit is softened, and juices are bubbling, 45-50 minutes.  Let galette cool 2 hours before serving.

Step 4: Serve galette with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
