Once you get used to making the crust, a galette really does come together quite quickly: mix together the dough, chill it in the fridge while you toss together the fruit in that same bowl, then roll out the crust and assemble; it can sit in the fridge for a few hours before baking. All kinds of seasonal fruit are great in galettes: apples, pears, plums, all manner of berries, peaches, nectarines, figs, quince. If it’s a fruit that tastes good cooked, it will taste good in a galette. Serve warm (with ice cream or whipped cream) or at room temperature.
