Persimmon Galette


What a gorgeous fruit, don't you think so? I love persimmons and with a galette even better. I specially like of galettes the old fashion look and the freedom of the shape, it is the best way to avoid lining a tin and get a perfect fruit tart in a very short time.
You can easily use any fruit at your taste such as plum, apple, pear... I also rather not to peal the fruit, but feel free to do it.
