Rustic Peach Galette is a beautiful Summer dessert, with sweet peaches baked in a flaky sugared pastry crust. Easier than pie, just as tasty!
This simple, sweet Dessert Recipe is similar to a classic Southern Peach Pie. The main difference is instead of baking it in a pie pan, it’s all made as a free form pastry and baked on a sheet pan. A quick, hassle-free delicious Summer treat.

Chef’s Note
Try making this galette for your next cookout, potluck, or family reunion. It’s great to have an easy dessert recipe like this one up your sleeve when you have a crowd to feed. In fact, it’s such an easy assembly, you could always make a second galette. Simply double the recipe and lay out two pie crusts. You can serve both galettes on the same day if you have a lot of hungry mouths to feed, or store one in the freezer for a delicious treat in a few months.
How To Store
- Serve: You can keep your easy Peach Galette at room temperature wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 2 days.
- Store: You can also store the Rustic Galette in the fridge for 4-5 days.
- Freeze: Or wrap and freeze this sweet dessert for up to 6 months.
Variations
- Flavorings: There are plenty of different flavorings you can mix into your Rustic Galette. For some extra tart taste add in some lemon juice. About 2 tablespoons of lemon juice should be plenty. You could also mix in some nutmeg, ginger, extra brown sugar, or even fresh mint.
- Thickener: If you don’t have corn starch, you can always use all-purpose flour for the flour mixture. To keep it gluten-free try almond meal or arrowroot starch.
- Sweetener: Instead of granulated sugar, you can use brown sugar, honey, or even confectioners sugar. For a healthy alternative to granulated sugar, go with coconut sugar or honey.
- Fruit: One of many great things about galettes is you can make the fresh fruit layer with most kinds of fruit. Try making a gorgeous and Rustic Blueberry Galette, or mixing blueberries with the peaches for a Blueberry Peach Galette. Some other options are using apricot preserves, fresh apricots, strawberries, raspberries, and cherries.
- Homemade Dough: Make your own Pie Crust following my easy recipe. Roll it out to a roughly round shape and make your galette. It won’t have to be a perfect circle, as you’re going for a rustic look, anyway.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the Rustic Peach Galette Terri and thanks for the five star review.
I’ve made this delicious peach galette twice in two weeks. The second time I didn’t have enough peaches on hand, so mixed in another stone fruit, a couple of ripe nectarines. On line opinion indicated that was an easy sub, since they are very similar. It turned out great!
Great idea Ann! So glad your recipe was a success and thanks for the five stars!
The best galette I’ve ever made. I added Crust Dust to the bottom and it came out perfect. This will be my Go-To for galettes. I usually flavor peaches with almond and this was superb. YUM!
So glad you enjoyed the Galette! Thank you Kathleen for the 5 star review!
Haven’t made it yet but I know it will be delicious. Since I don’t have fresh ripe peaches available yet, can canned peaches be used? Not my 1st choice, but….
You can but I would recommend draining it from the syrup and rinsing it twice with water to avoid it becoming soggy from the extra moisture. Hope this helps.
