Vegan Summer Peach Galettes

our neighbor has a glorious urban garden. he has a fig tree which we love, muscadine grapes, and overflowing now, a peach tree. they are small, but sweet, and falling to the ground. he let us come grab what we wanted and I thought i would bake a couple of peach galettes to make use of how many there were.

i found a recipe for a home made dough that i attempted to bake saturday, to the upmost failure. it was hard and weird. so, seeing some people on instragram using puff pastry, i decided to take the lazy baker's approach.

normally, i try and avoid any added sugar. we've the same bag in the cupboard forever. sugar lasts forever right? however, it being our anniversary weekend, i thought i would indulge a bit. i made two variations, peach blackberry and lavender peach.

lavender + peach

ingredients

1 puff pastry sheet, thawed

2 large peaches

juice of 1/2 a lemon

1/2 tbsp. lavender

1/2 - 1 tbsp. sugar

sprinkle of cinnamon

a bit of Earth Balance (or butter if you're okay using that)

blackberry + peach

ingredients

1 puff pastry sheet, thawed

2 large peaches

juice of 1/2 a lemon

a few blackberries

1/2 - 1 tbsp. sugar

sprinkle of cinnamon

a bit of Earth Balance (or butter if you're okay using that)

in two bowls, mix the ingredients for each of the fillings. line a baking sheet or two with parchment paper. arrange (or pour if you're short on time!) the peach filling onto the puff pastry squares leaving an inch or so border. fold the pastry over forming a crust. dollop with a couple pieces of earth balance. bake for 15-20 minutes.

i plan on serving mine with some dairy free vanilla ice cream. what goes better than peaches and vanilla? yum. This brand is my favorite vegan ice cream.
