Galette is a rustic pie. It is sometimes also called a "crostada." I like to do galette in a cast iron skillet or a stone pie dish so that the juices from the fruit aren't lost. When peaches are in season in the late summer, a peach galette is a most delicious treat with layers of flavors and textures. If you use local, tree-ripened peaches, this dessert requires very little sugar and nothing else, so the fresh peach flavor is allowed to be the star of this dish.
