Peach Melbe Galette

A galette is the French name for a rustic tart. It is the same as a pie, but sounds FANCY! For a galette, you only need to fold excess dough over the top instead of trimming around the edges. It is super easy, and you get to use a fancy name and pretend to be very sophisiticated and cultured. WIN-WIN I think! This galette has peaches and raspberries in my Grandmother's simple no-chill pie crust. Its delicious and easy to make!

Step 1 Go Shopping to buy fresh produce

I decided to make this pie because when I went to the store I found peaches on sale! This pie needs about 2-4 lbs of peaches and a half quart of raspberries.

It's also the term for a wheat crepe / pancake, ususally savoury! Looks like a nice pie though! Well done.

The Peach Melba is a classic dessert, invented in 1892 or 1893 by the French chef Auguste Escoffier at the Savoy Hotel, London to honour the Australian soprano, Dame Nellie Melba (1861 - 1931). Lovely play on the original.

That looks spectacular! Love the fruit close-ups - they're making me hungry.
