Our family goes through bushels and bushels of peaches every summer. We eat most of them out of hand, but I always try to make some of our favorite peach desserts and try a few new ones each peach season. This peach galette has been on my list for a long time and it did not disappoint.

Pair this cherry pie filling with my homemade pie crust or use it to top homemade brownies or fill crepes for a delicious dessert! And be sure to also check out our blueberry pie filling next!

When I polled people over on Instagram and asked them their favorite ice cream flavors, mint chocolate chip ice cream was by far the top choice for a majority of folks. Not that I’m surprised!
