Peach Galette, formally known as Peach Tart, is a heavenly balance of a flaky, buttery, pastry lined with peaches and covered with an apricot glaze. It melts in your mouth with every bite. It is perfect for dessert or brunch and sure to impress!
Peach Galette is basically THE end-of-summer treat that you need.
Immediately.
We have some backtracking to do first though. A long long time ago…back in 2015… Peach Tart came to be. Now, don’t get confused between Peach Galette and Peach Tart – they’re basically the same.
Basically.
The galette is a little more rustic, with the sides of the pie dough folded up around the edges of the sweet, juicy peaches. That’s the main difference I made to the recipe when I updated it. I absolutely love the rustic look.
So whether you want to call it a peach tart or a peach galette, I’m on board. It’s 100% summertime deliciousness no matter what you call it.

And a few others that may go along with “holy” and “oh my”. It’s delicately sweet, and the peach flavor shines through without a lot of added sugar.
This peach galette (back then tart) came to delight us back when my Mom was visiting me in North Carolina. We had had a simple French Apple Tart before (thanks, Ina!). The fresh peach stands we saw along the country highways quickly inspired us to create a simple dessert full of fresh flavors.
