A dessert category involving the combination of stone fruit and laminated dough, frequently incorporating sugar and spices, can be prepared in various forms. Examples include tarts, turnovers, and galettes where the fruit filling is encased or layered within the flaky pastry.
This pairing offers a balance of textures and flavors. The buttery, crisp pastry complements the soft, sweet fruit. Its versatility allows for adaptation to seasonal variations and dietary preferences, providing options for both casual baking and more elaborate presentations.
