Gluten-Free Strawberry Peach Galette
Easier to make than a pie this gluten-free strawberry peach galette is a great summer dessert when peaches are in season.
I’m a big fan of pie and this strawberry peach galette is a close relative to it. It’s a little less fussy and much easier to make. While I love to use peaches the most, you can sub it other fruits according to seasons such as apples, blueberries, etc.Â
Why You'll Love This Recipe
First off it uses fresh peaches and strawberries and it makes a beautiful dessert. By substituting the flour you can easily make this gluten-free, whether you use a pie crust mix or substitute your favorite gluten-free flour blend. If your not gluten-free you can purchase ready to bake rolled up pie crust and use that.
Ingredients
Pie Crust – You can use your favorite pie crust recipe here. For a gluten-free pie crust I like to use Bob’s Red Mill Pie Crust GF. If you are not gluten-free you can purchase the ready made rolled pie crust and use that.
Peaches – You can use fresh yellow or white peaches, however the yellow peaches will be more visually pleasing.
Strawberries – Use fresh strawberries.
Brown Sugar – Adds a nice sweet caramel like flavor to the fruit.
Salt – You are using just a pinch to balance out the sweetness.
Cinnamon – For added flavor
Cornstarch – You can substitute arrowroot or tapioca starch.
Egg – The egg is used for an egg wash over the pie crust to help it brown.
Turbinado/Raw Sugar – This is optional but gives a nice sweetness to the pie crust.
Apricot/Peach Jam – The peaches and strawberries will look dull once they are baked. Using the jam to lightly coat the peaches and strawberries after they are done baking gives them a nice shine and a bit more flavor.Â
