52 weeks of baking: 28 - peach galette

 

Peaches, peaches, peaches. Peach season in Texas, y'all. This week I had a few peaches hanging out in my kitchen that needed to be consumed, preferably after being baked surrounded by something buttery. I consulted Deb (I am banning myself from Smitten Kitchen for a few weeks, I need to branch out) and made this galette recipe, but used peaches instead of nectarines and blackberries. Oh and I accidentally picked up apricot preserves instead of peach, whoops. The jars and fruit look really similar, okay? Reading labels is overrated.








This little thing is gooood. Simple and sweet and the crust is perfect. Whipped cream on the side for me of course, but ice cream would probably be good too if you're into that.

This is a super simple recipe and concept that you could use with basically any fruit. You could even go savory and throw some veggies in there instead (I'd skip the sugar topping though). I think I may need to do that with my other half of dough. Easy dinner, I'm in.

The rest of the year here!

52 weeks of baking: 23 - peach hand pies


WOO, cuttin' it close this week! It's been a very full and busy week, but I squeezed my baking in! Deb posted this recipe for rhubarb cream cheese hand pies Friday and I was like, yeah girl, lemme make those. Except with peaches because it's peach season!


Just a little butter, eh?









These little guys are real good! I wish I had put a little more fruit in the middle because dang that peach and cream cheese combo is amazing. But even so, these are very yummy. Deb's pie crust recipe is infallible, and this version has orange zest added in. It's as good as it sounds. These little pies are a taaaad labor intensive and create quite a bit of dishes, but they're worth it. I'm all about trying it with different fruits in the future.

We have eaten SO many of these today. We skipped dinner and just ate an unmentionable number of these. And I can't wait to have them for breakfast (and many snacks I'm sure) this week. I may or may not go get another right now.
