If perfectly crimped pie edges are not your idea of a relaxing afternoon, a rustic peach galette might be more your style. It has all that homemade dessert charm, with a shape that happily leaves room for a few uneven edges.
This almond peach galette from Cafe Delites pairs sliced peaches with an almond-flour crust and vanilla bean mascarpone cream. It is a lovely dessert idea for using seasonal peaches, especially when you want something a little different from your usual crumble.
The almond dough needs a gentle touch. Unlike traditional wheat-flour pastry, it is more delicate, so the recipe recommends chilling it and pressing it into shape directly on the lined baking tray. Rustic is very much your friend here.
Choose ripe peaches that still hold their shape, slice them evenly and avoid overcrowding the pastry. Let the baked galette settle before cutting, then serve with the mascarpone cream.

This is the sort of fruit dessert that looks lovely brought straight to the table. No elaborate decorating required, just golden pastry, peaches and a generous spoonful of cream.
