This is kind of like a sweet dessert pizza, or perhaps it’s more of a free-form fruit crumble. Either way, it is very good! Basically it is a basic sweet pastry dough crust, which I made and rolled out into a rectangle on a large baking sheet, topped with peaches and plums (which I had sliced thinly and then tossed in a bit of sugar and orange juice and zest.) Then I just spread them evenly over the crust and folded the edges of the crust over to make a bit of a lip. I topped it with a crumble of butter and sugar and baked it. Yum! I served it with a dollop of almond whipped cream (heavy cream to which I added almond extract, vanilla extract and sugar).
Hi, I'm Chef Mercedes. I'm a graduate of the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center's classic pastry arts program. Currently I do not work in the food industry so I use this blog to share my love of eating and passion for baking with the world. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to share about baking and that I’ll inspire you to bake as well.
