Sweet, Sweet Galettes

Last week Leslie and I got together and had some fun trying out new recipes and, of course, we played around with styling and photographing the process. I am a huge fan of baking galettes which are freeform pies (and end up looking perfectly rustic and photograph oh-so-well). This was the first time I've ever made a sweet galette, typically I bake savory ones (more on that later - a slice of a savory galette along with a hot bowl of soup is *the* best meal on a cold night). I made the dough following this recipe from Food & Wine (turned out great!) and then we followed this recipe from Completely Delicious  for the filling. Leslie and I agreed that the filling recipe would be improved by a tiny bit of salt and we ended up sprinkling the *teeniest* bit of sea salt over the top of each galette after they baked and that really helped to round out the flavors. Add a scoop of ice cream and you have yourself the perfect summer dessert (or, if you're me and not following your diet, the best breakfast...)
