This rustic Peach Galette is packed full of summer goodness . Easier than a pie but just as delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Galettes are just free form tarts that are so much easier than a pie . As long as the edges are folded in and pinched to hold in all of the yumminess you are good.
