peach galette.

Last week we enjoyed this peach galette with french vanilla ice cream and a bottle of chardonnay outside under the stars.

I love summer.

I used peaches that I found for $.88/lb, but you could substitute any kind of fruit – apples would be great, berries, pears, apricots, plums, cherries.

And top it with some form of cream.

Heaven.

Peach Galette

(Serves 6)

What You’ll Need:

1 sheet puff pastry

5 peaches, sliced

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla (or brandy, grand marnier, etc)

1 egg

2 tablespoons half and half or cream

turbinado sugar

whipped or ice cream

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375. Roll out puff pastry to desired thickness.

In a bowl, mix peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and vanilla.  Separately mix egg and half and half or cream in a small bowl.  Pour peaches on puff pastry, then roll sides over and brush top with egg/cream mixture.  Sprinkle top with turbinado sugar for extra crunch.

Bake on a jelly roll pan (or cookie sheet with sides) for 20-25 minutes or until fruit is bubbling and top of puff pastry is golden brown.

Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

TOTAL:  $6.50 with ice cream or about $1.08 per serving.

How do I figure these costs?  Take a look at my shopping spreadsheet to see what I pay for items, average costs per serving, etc and to figure out how to make all this frugal foodie stuff work for you.
