Thin, crisp pastry topped with succulent fresh peaches and apricot jam makes for a delectable dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 peaches, halved, seeds removed, sliced thinly
  • 6 sheets filo pastry
  • 60 g butter, melted
  • 3 tsps caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp apricot jam, warmed, sieved
01.

Preheat oven to 200 C (180 C fan-forced). Line oven tray with baking paper.

02.

Place two pastry sheets on clean board; brush lightly with a third of the butter. Top with two more pastry sheets; brush lightly with half of the remaining butter. Repeat layering with remaining pastry and butter.

03.

Fold pastry in half to form a square; cut 22 cm-diameter circle from pastry square. Arrange peach slices on pastry circle; sprinkle with sugar.

04.

Bake about 20 mins or until galette browns. Serve warm galette brushed with jam.

Top tips:
1. Cover the pastry with greaseproof paper then a damp towel when you are working with it, to prevent it drying out.
2. Nectarines, apricots, apples, plums and pears are all suitable fruits to use in place of the peaches.
