Summer produce has a way of turning even simple baking into something truly special. This blackberry peach galette captures everything you love about peak-season fruit: sweet, sun-ripened peaches layered with tart, jammy blackberries, all tucked inside a buttery, flaky homemade crust that you fold up with your hands, no pie dish required.
A galette is essentially a free-form pie, and that’s the beauty of it. There’s no fussing over crimped edges, no lattice to weave, and no fear of a cracked crust ruining your presentation. The imperfections are the point. Each fold, each uneven pleat, each bit of bubbled fruit peeking through the center is part of what makes this dessert look so genuinely inviting.
The pairing of peaches and blackberries is one of summer’s great combinations. Peaches bring soft sweetness and floral aroma. Blackberries bring bright tartness and deep color that bleeds beautifully into the filling as it bakes. Together, they balance each other perfectly, with a filling that thickens just enough from cornstarch and lemon juice to hold its shape when you slice it.
You don’t need a stand mixer, a pie dish, or any special equipment to pull this off. A bowl, a rolling pin, a sheet pan, and fresh summer fruit are really all it takes.

Why You’ll Love This Blackberry Peach Galette
This galette is one of those recipes that looks like it took real effort but actually comes together in well under two hours, including chill time.
The crust is made from scratch with cold butter and just a handful of ingredients, and it bakes up golden, shatteringly crisp on the outside, and tender inside. It holds the fruit filling without going soggy, which is exactly what you want.
The filling requires zero cooking ahead of time. You simply toss the fruit with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and a pinch of cinnamon, and that’s it. The oven does all the work of transforming it into a glossy, bubbling filling.
This galette is impressive enough to serve at a dinner party yet casual enough for a weeknight treat. It truly hits both marks.
It also scales effortlessly. Want to make individual mini galettes for a gathering? Just divide the dough and filling into smaller portions and adjust the bake time slightly.
- Made with fresh, seasonal fruit that needs minimal preparation

Ingredients
For a blackberry peach galette that bakes up flawlessly, you need quality fruit, cold butter, and a few pantry staples. The crust uses all-purpose flour, cold unsalted butter, ice water, a touch of sugar, and salt. For the filling, fresh ripe peaches and plump fresh blackberries are ideal, though frozen (thawed and drained) work well outside of peak season. Cornstarch thickens the juices into a glossy sauce, and lemon juice brightens the whole thing. A sprinkle of turbinado sugar on the folded crust edges adds sparkle and crunch after baking.
For the Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 tablespoon (12g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/2 cup (113g) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 3 to 4 tablespoons (45-60ml) ice water
For the Filling:
- 3 medium ripe peaches (about 450g / 1 lb), peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 1/2 cups (210g) fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (plus 1 extra tablespoon for sprinkling on the base)
- 2 tablespoons (16g) cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
For Finishing:
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons (24g) turbinado sugar (for sprinkling on crust)
- 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (optional, dotted on filling)

Kitchen Equipment Needed
You don’t need much to make a galette, which is part of what makes it such a great beginner-friendly bake. A food processor speeds up the crust-making process, but a pastry cutter or even two knives work just as well for cutting butter into flour. You’ll need a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, a rolling pin, and mixing bowls.
- Food processor or pastry cutter
- Large mixing bowl
- Rolling pin
- Half-sheet baking pan
- Parchment paper
- Pastry brush (for egg wash)
- Sharp knife or bench scraper
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Plastic wrap or reusable dough wrap for chilling
- Cooling rack

Recommended Products for This Recipe
These are products that genuinely make a difference in your galette results, chosen for quality and performance rather than novelty.
1. Nordic Ware Aluminum Half Sheet Pan
A heavy-gauge aluminum baking sheet distributes heat evenly so the bottom crust bakes through completely and turns golden without burning. Thin, flimsy pans can cause uneven baking and a pale, underdone crust. This is one of the most-used tools in any baker’s kitchen.
2. OXO Good Grips Pastry Blender
Cutting cold butter into flour by hand is the key to a flaky crust, and a pastry blender makes the job fast and consistent. This one has a comfortable grip and sturdy wires that cut through cold butter cleanly without warming it with your hands.
3. Reynolds Kitchens Parchment Paper Sheets
Pre-cut parchment sheets save the step of tearing and trimming, and they lie perfectly flat on the baking sheet. Rolling your galette dough directly onto parchment makes transferring it to the pan easy without tearing or sticking.
4. Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Extract
A small splash of vanilla extract in the filling adds depth and warmth to the fruit without overpowering it. Nielsen-Massey is known for its clean, complex vanilla flavor, and a little goes a long way in fruit-based desserts.
5. Demerara or Turbinado Sugar for Finishing
Coarse sugar on the crust edges caramelizes as the galette bakes, adding crunch and visual sparkle. Regular granulated sugar absorbs into the dough and disappears, while turbinado or demerara holds its texture through baking.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Galette Dough
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt until evenly combined.
- Add 1/2 cup (113g) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes. The butter must be very cold, straight from the refrigerator or even briefly in the freezer for 10 minutes before using. Cold butter creates steam pockets during baking, and those pockets are what give the crust its flaky layers.
- Using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse, uneven crumbs. You want a mix of pea-sized and smaller butter pieces. Stop before it becomes sandy. Visible butter chunks are good.
- Add 3 tablespoons (45ml) of ice water and stir gently with a fork or spatula. The dough should start to come together in shaggy clumps. If it’s too dry and crumbly, add the 4th tablespoon of water, one teaspoon at a time, just until it holds together when pinched.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a flat disk, about 1 inch thick. Do not knead it. Overworking develops gluten and makes the crust tough rather than tender.
- Wrap the disk tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days. This resting time allows the gluten to relax and the butter to firm back up.
2. Prepare the Fruit Filling
- While the dough chills, peel your peaches. The easiest method is to score an X at the bottom of each peach, drop them into boiling water for 30 to 45 seconds, then transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water. The skins slip right off. If your peaches are very ripe, you can often skip this step and peel them with a paring knife.
- Slice the peeled peaches into approximately 1/4-inch-thick slices and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add 1 1/2 cups (210g) fresh blackberries to the bowl with the peaches.
- Sprinkle over 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons (16g) cornstarch, 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Gently toss everything together with a large spoon or rubber spatula until the fruit is evenly coated. Be careful not to crush the blackberries. Set aside and let the fruit macerate for 10 to 15 minutes. You’ll notice the sugar draws out the fruit juices and the cornstarch begins to absorb them slightly, creating a glossy syrup.
3. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400°F (205°C).
- Line a large half-sheet baking pan (approximately 18×13 inches) with a sheet of parchment paper. Set aside.
4. Roll Out the Dough
- Remove the chilled dough disk from the refrigerator. Let it sit on the counter for 3 to 5 minutes if it feels very firm, so it’s pliable enough to roll without cracking.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface and your rolling pin.
- Roll the dough from the center outward, rotating it a quarter turn every few rolls to keep it even. Aim for a rough circle about 13 to 14 inches (33 to 36cm) in diameter and approximately 1/8 inch (3mm) thick. It doesn’t need to be a perfect circle. An irregular, organic shape is part of the galette’s charm.
- If the dough cracks at the edges, press the crack together with your fingers and continue rolling. Small cracks seal easily with a bit of pressure.
- Gently roll the dough loosely around your rolling pin and unroll it onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. Don’t worry if it hangs over the edges of the pan slightly.
5. Add the Filling
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch (5cm) border all the way around. This thin layer of sugar on the base helps absorb any excess moisture from the fruit and prevents the crust underneath from becoming soggy.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fruit filling to the center of the dough. Try to leave most of the accumulated liquid in the bowl, as too much liquid will prevent the crust from crisping. Spread the fruit in an even layer, still leaving that 2-inch border of dough uncovered.
- If using, dot the top of the fruit filling with the 1 tablespoon of butter cut into small pieces. This adds richness and helps the filling develop a beautiful, glossy appearance.
6. Fold and Pleat the Edges
- Starting at any point along the edge, fold about 2 inches of dough up and over the outer edge of the fruit. Press it down gently against the filling.
- Move about 2 to 3 inches along the edge and make another fold, pleating the dough as you go, overlapping each section slightly. Press each pleat gently so it adheres.
- Continue working your way around the entire circle. The folds will be imperfect and that’s completely fine. The goal is simply to contain the filling within a raised border of crust.
- Press any cracks in the folded crust together with your fingers.
7. Apply the Egg Wash and Sugar
- Beat 1 large egg in a small bowl with a fork or small whisk.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the beaten egg generously over the folded crust edges. Get into all the pleats and folds. The egg wash gives the finished crust that deep golden-brown color and a slight sheen.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of turbinado or coarse sugar over the egg-washed crust. The large crystals won’t dissolve into the dough like regular sugar, so they stay crunchy and sparkly after baking.
8. Bake the Galette
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 35 to 42 minutes, until the crust is a deep golden brown and the filling is bubbling actively in the center. Don’t pull it early at the first sign of bubbling. You want the filling to bubble vigorously for at least 5 minutes, which ensures the cornstarch is fully activated and the filling will set when cooled.
- If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly before the center filling is bubbling, tent a piece of foil loosely over the browning areas.
- Remove the galette from the oven and slide the parchment sheet (with the galette on it) onto a cooling rack.
9. Cool Before Slicing
- Allow the galette to cool on the rack for at least 20 to 30 minutes before slicing. This cooling time is important. The filling will still be quite loose right out of the oven, but it firms up significantly as it cools and the cornstarch sets fully.
- Slice with a sharp knife or pizza wheel and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for Success
Getting a blackberry peach galette right comes down to a few key techniques: keeping the butter cold, not overloading the crust with filling liquid, and baking until the filling truly bubbles. Follow these tips and your galette will come out beautifully every time.
- Keep everything cold. If at any point during making the dough your butter starts to soften and smear rather than stay in distinct pieces, put the whole bowl in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes before continuing. Soft butter produces a crumbly, dense crust rather than a flaky one.
- Drain excess juice. After the fruit macerates, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to the crust, leaving behind the accumulated liquid in the bowl. Too much liquid is the most common cause of a soggy bottom.
- Don’t skip the sugar layer on the base. That thin sprinkle of sugar between the dough and the fruit acts as a barrier, absorbing moisture from the filling before it can saturate the crust.
- Chill the assembled galette if needed. If your dough has warmed significantly during assembly, pop the whole baking sheet with the assembled galette into the refrigerator for 15 minutes before baking. Cold dough going into a hot oven produces better rise and flakiness.
- Bake until it truly bubbles. A filling that bubbles for several minutes ensures the cornstarch is fully cooked through. Undercooked cornstarch will leave the filling starchy and gluey rather than glossy and set.
- Use ripe but not mushy fruit. Peaches should be fragrant and yield slightly to gentle pressure. Very underripe peaches lack flavor and won’t soften enough during baking. Very overripe ones will turn to mush.
- Avoid overfilling. The fruit mound in the center should be about 1 to 1.5 inches tall at most. A towering pile of fruit will make the galette hard to fold and may cause the crust to bake unevenly.

Serving Suggestions
A warm blackberry peach galette straight from the oven (with a 20-minute rest) is one of summer’s greatest pleasures, and it pairs beautifully with a range of accompaniments that complement the fruity, buttery filling.
A scoop of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is the most classic pairing, and for good reason: the cold, creamy contrast against the warm galette is unbeatable. Let the ice cream melt slightly into the filling for a sauce-like effect that pools in the most delicious way.
- Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream melting into the fruit
- Drizzle with a spoonful of warm Caramel Sauce for a more indulgent presentation
- Add a dollop of freshly whipped heavy cream lightly sweetened with a bit of powdered sugar and vanilla
- Serve at room temperature with a drizzle of local honey and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt
- Pair a slice with a cup of strong coffee or Earl Grey tea for an elegant afternoon treat
- Top with a spoonful of creme fraiche or sour cream for a slightly tangy, European-style finish
Variations to Try
Once you’ve made the basic blackberry peach galette, it’s easy to play with the flavor profile and swap in different fruit combinations depending on the season. The technique stays exactly the same.
- Blueberry Peach Galette. Swap the blackberries for an equal amount of fresh blueberries. Blueberries are sweeter and less tart than blackberries, so you may want to reduce the sugar by a tablespoon. For inspiration, check out the Blueberry Peach Crumble for a different take on the same pairing.
- Raspberry Peach Galette. Raspberries bring an intense, fruity tartness that works beautifully with ripe peaches. Use the same quantity as the blackberries and follow the recipe as written.
- Spiced Blackberry Peach Galette. Add 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger to the filling along with the cinnamon. The warm spices add a subtle depth that’s especially wonderful in late summer and early fall.
- Honey Blackberry Peach Galette. Replace half the granulated sugar with an equal weight of good quality honey, such as wildflower or buckwheat. Honey adds a floral complexity and also helps the filling caramelize more deeply.
- Almond Cream Base Galette (Frangipane). Before adding the fruit, spread a thin layer of almond cream (made from softened butter, almond flour, sugar, and egg) over the base of the dough. This creates a nutty, rich layer underneath the fruit that elevates the galette to something truly special.
- Peach-Only Galette. Skip the blackberries entirely and use 5 to 6 peaches. You might enjoy the Peach Crumble Pie as another delicious variation on baked peach desserts.
- Savory Blackberry Peach Galette. Reduce the sugar to just 1 tablespoon and add fresh thyme leaves, crumbled goat cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze to the filling. Serve as a starter or alongside grilled chicken.
Storage and Reheating
A baked blackberry peach galette is best on the day it’s made, when the crust is at its crispest and the filling is perfectly set. That said, it stores well for a couple of days and reheats beautifully.
- Room temperature: Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Refrigerating it isn’t necessary for the first day.
- Refrigerator: Wrap the galette loosely or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The crust will soften slightly but still taste wonderful.
- Reheating: Reheat slices or the whole galette in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes until the crust has crisped back up and the filling is warm. Avoid the microwave, which steams the crust and makes it soft.
- Freezing unbaked galette: You can assemble the galette completely (minus the egg wash), place the baking sheet in the freezer until the galette is firm, then wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding about 10 to 15 extra minutes to the bake time and applying the egg wash just before it goes into the oven.
- Freezing baked galette: Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and then foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat from frozen in a 350°F oven.

Health Benefits of Key Ingredients
Beyond being a delicious summer dessert, a blackberry peach galette delivers a meaningful amount of nutrients from its fruit-forward filling. Fresh peaches and blackberries are both nutritionally impressive, and when you bake with them whole rather than processing them into a concentrate, most of their goodness stays intact.
Using real fruit in generous amounts and a crust made from whole-food ingredients means this galette is a more nourishing treat than many packaged or processed desserts you might reach for.
- Blackberries are one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits available, particularly high in anthocyanins, the compounds that give them their deep purple-black color and are associated with supporting heart health and reducing inflammation. One cup of blackberries also provides around 8 grams of fiber, nearly a third of the recommended daily intake.
- Peaches are an excellent source of Vitamin C, which supports immune function and skin health, as well as potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure. They also contain beta-carotene, an antioxidant the body converts to Vitamin A.
- Lemon juice and zest provide a significant additional hit of Vitamin C and also contain flavonoids that have antioxidant properties. The acid in lemon juice also helps balance the sweetness of the fruit and brightens all the flavors.
- Cornstarch serves as a thickener in the filling and is gluten-free on its own, which means people with gluten sensitivity can easily adapt this recipe with a gluten-free flour blend for the crust.
- Unsalted butter in the crust provides fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2, and when used in appropriate amounts as part of a balanced diet, it contributes to a satisfying, rich-tasting dessert without the need for artificial fats.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use frozen peaches and blackberries instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen fruit works well in this galette. Thaw the fruit completely and drain it very well before using. Pat the pieces dry with paper towels if they seem especially wet. Frozen fruit releases significantly more liquid than fresh, so excess moisture is the main challenge. You may also want to increase the cornstarch by 1 teaspoon to help manage the extra juice.
2. Can I use store-bought pie crust?
You can absolutely use refrigerated store-bought pie crust and the galette will still be delicious. Roll the pre-made crust out slightly larger than the package circle, place it on your parchment-lined baking sheet, and proceed with the filling and folding steps as written. Homemade crust has a better flavor and texture, but store-bought is a perfectly valid shortcut on busy days.
3. Why is my galette crust soggy on the bottom?
A soggy crust is almost always caused by too much liquid in the filling. Make sure to use a slotted spoon when transferring the macerated fruit to the dough, leaving behind the juice that has pooled in the bowl. Also make sure to sprinkle that tablespoon of granulated sugar on the dough base before adding the fruit, as this helps absorb moisture. Baking on a heavy-gauge metal sheet pan (rather than a glass dish) also promotes better bottom crust crisping.
4. How do I know when the galette is done baking?
The galette is done when the crust is a deep, even golden-brown color across the edges and bottom, and the filling is actively bubbling in the center, not just around the edges. Those center bubbles indicate that the filling has reached the temperature needed to fully activate the cornstarch. If in doubt, let it bake another 5 minutes and check again.
5. Can I make this galette ahead of time?
Yes, in a few different ways. You can make the dough up to 2 days ahead and keep it wrapped in the refrigerator. You can also assemble the entire galette and freeze it unbaked for up to 2 months, then bake it straight from frozen with a little extra bake time. If you want to bake it the night before serving, reheat it in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes to restore the crust’s crispness before serving.
