Peach galettes are an exquisite and easy-to-make dish of European cuisine that delights with its harmonious combination of crispy dough and juicy fruit filling. Their roots trace back to French gastronomy, where galettes are traditionally made as a rustic alternative to classic pies. The delicate shortcrust pastry infused with the aroma of amaretto and lemon zest perfectly complements the sweet, caramelized peach with subtle notes of butter and sugar. During baking, the fruits release their natural juices, turning each bite into true delight. Galettes are wonderful as a morning dessert with a cup of coffee or a refined treat for tea. Their presentation requires no elaborate decorations — they are magnificent in their natural simplicity and delightful taste.
