Plum and Peach Crostata image

Also called a "galette" - a delicious fruit dessert that's easier than pie! Flaky pie crust gets folded over the edge of fresh juicy plums and peach slices! You don't even need to peel the fruit! Bake until the plum and peach slices get all juicy and bubbly! Let cool a bit to let the juices thicken up, then serve with some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream! It's a little rustic and a lot delicious!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 single pie crust (homemade or store bought)
6 plums, sliced
1 peach, sliced
3-4 tablespoons sugar (depending on sweetness of fruit)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon flour (if fruit is super juicy add an extra teaspoon flour)
1 egg
2 teaspoons water
2 teaspoons coarse turbinado or sparkling sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Arrange rolled-out pie crust on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (I rolled my crust to about a 12" diameter.)
  • Stir together sliced plums and peach with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, lemon zest and flour.
  • Arrange fruit in center of pie crust - leaving about 1 1/2 - 2" of crust at edge to fold over. Fold crust over outside of filling, crust will overlap itself. There should be a center circle of exposed fruit.
  • Egg Wash: If using an egg wash. Whisk together egg and water, brush over crust and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes. Fruit should be bubbling all over. If crust or fruit starts to brown too much, loosely cover with foil. Remove from oven and let cool at least 30-45 minutes - the filling will thicken up.
