Mini Summer Fruit Galettes

July 5, 2016 · 1 Comment

Mini Summer Fruit GalettesHow was your 4th of July weekend, was it fun, full of great food and sunshine, I hope so! I hope it was filled with lots of pie too. Well, I’ve got even more pie for you today. I know you’re probably looking for some detoxing juice or a light salad after this holiday weekend, but it’s summer and that means we’re constantly entertaining. Whether it’s a birthday beach bash or an impromptu mid-week al fresco dinner just because the night was too perfect, this season brings plenty of get-togethers. So when it comes to pulling a menu together, I firmly believe it should be easy and totally highlight all the flavors and ingredients this season has to offer.

Pies are my go-to dessert all year round but even more so during summer whenever I want/need to quickly whip up a sweet treat. I try to have pie dough in the freezer for this reason, but when I don’t, puff pastry is my best friend. You can bake them into squares layered with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for easy shortcakes or create a show stopping galette like this one with rich juicy plums. A few weeks back when we celebrated father’s day with this delicious grilled squid, we finished the meal with an assortment of these stone fruit fruit puff pastry galettes and they were the perfect sweet ending to our summer meal. Mini Summer Fruit GalettesThese mini galettes are seriously the easiest and quickest dessert you can make, and with so many delicious fruit options this season they’re too yummy not to make. Oh, and when I said easy and quick to make, I meant it. While the grill was going, I tossed a plum, peach, two apricots and a few sinfully sweet cherries with a sprinkling of cornstarch, lemon juice and raw sugar, then baked them in the toaster oven. Yes, you heard me right, the toaster oven! Talk about lazy girl baking, but when days are scorching hot the last thing you want to do is turn on the oven. By the time we finished eating, these little gems were golden brown and bubbling. Mini Summer Fruit GalettesThese individual galettes are so versatile, which is why I love making them. Use your favorite summer fruits, or top with them an oat crumb or meringue if you want. No matter how you serve them up, they will be a big hit at whatever kind of summer soiree you have this season!Mini Summer Fruit GalettesMini Summer Fruit Galettes

Mini Summer Fruit Galettes

Ingredients {Makes 4}

Puff Pastry {1 to 2 defrosted sheets}

5 to 6 – Sweet Cherries {halved + pitted}

1 small – Peach {sliced into 1/4″ pieces}

1 medium – Plum {quartered}

2 – Apricots {halved}

4 tablespoons – Raw Sugar, plus more for sprinkling

4 teaspoons – Cornstarch

Juice of 1 Lemon

1/4 cup – Milk

Recipe

Preheat oven to 375*F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the puff pastry into 4″ squares, place them into mini pie tins {or lightly sprayed cupcake pan} atop the lined baking sheet.

In four small bowls, mix each fruit separately, each with 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon sugar, and about tablespoon of lemon juice. Fill the puff pastry lined tins with the fruit, arranging the halved fruits skin side up {aside from the cherries,which can be placed cut side up}.

Fold the pastry dough edges over the fruit towards the center, and lightly brush with milk. Sprinkle the crust with raw sugar and bake until pastry is golden brown and juices begin to boil {about 30 to 35 minutes}. Cool slightly. Serve warm or completely cooled.

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

Instagram post 2195361413982519148_20110111 I haven’t really created new holiday stylings in the past few years, mostly because cookies have become precedent, or I’m already working on early new year events & get crafty making gifts. But this year I’m trying to fill more of that free time w. rest....& plenty of scheming for my next travels😉🌿
.....

Instagram post 2193145886518090006_20110111 Words for the weekend, the holiday season & every other day of the year!✨And yes I photocopied & framed this from the latest issue of Magnolia Journal, it pretty much sums up my approach to the holidays this year.....
reusing what I already have,
woods & greens to celebrate
the beauty in Mother Nature’s bareness,
fairy lights that remind me of starry night skies
& this little penguin (who has been my only 
non-necessary purchase) because I love 
penguins & it makes me smile 
every time I’m at my desk working🐧❄️🌿
Instagram post 2192265495171179698_20110111 A little but special throwback to our Gift Wrap & Give Back Holiday Party! We gathered up the gals for some bites, wrapped donated gifts & wrote cards - all for kids who don’t get to celebrate the holidays or receive the kind of gifts most do....this is one of the easiest ways you can get together w. friends this holiday season while doing some REAL good!

Grab your friends, have them each donate a toy/gift for a local community drive or a family in need, then have each person bring a dish & something to wrap with! Get all the ideas for this party on the blog & make your own special “Give Back” holiday party💚
Instagram post 2190101455565098681_20110111 December ..... while most dive into the crazed chaos, I will honor your Slowness🌿I will still celebrate the things I love about the holiday season, but I will do it in a more natural way; an homage to the restorative & simplistic beauty of Mother Nature this time of year.

I will continue to be grateful, showing my kindness & love towards others, even if it’s a simple act of baking cookies or giving away a coat.

I will reflect & cherish all the days before. I will live in each present moment, but also dream & envision new plans for goals I know I’m on my way to achieving, new places to explore, new adventures, new people to meet.

I will continue to learn & grow into an even better version of myself as I celebrate the final days of another year & the beginnings of a new.....✨
