Have you ever heard of galette? It is an extremely simple French version of pie, which consists of a brittle dough and delicious fruit filling, and is prepared without a pie baking dish. Plum galette is a delicious autumn dessert that will impress you with its wonderful taste and appearance.
Galette is easier to make than pie, because you don’t even need a pie pan! All you have to do is roll out the dough in a circle, add the filling in the middle and fold the dough over the filling. This way you get a gorgeous, slightly rough and imperfect look that gives the galette its charm! Unlike pie, galette is not covered with dough on top, which creates an interesting and attractive look.
This dessert is made with delicious crispy dough and juicy plum filling, which creates the perfect autumn dessert that will delight just about anyone who tries it. The preparation is very simple, so you can make this extremely tasty and beautiful plum galette very quickly. If you are not a fan of plums, you can also use other fruits for the filling, such as strawberries, blueberries, peaches, apples, etc.
