Peach-blueberry lavender crostata is made with a simple peach blueberry filling & a lavender spiced pie dough for an easy summer fruit dessert recipe.

I told you I’ve been on a peach kick these days.
It’s like I’m racing the clock to get all these summer recipes floating around in my head published before everyone starts thinking about pumpkins and soups.
Not that I’m not excited for the sweater weather, but last week was 90 degrees and this week I had to put the heat on in my car on my way to work.
Sloowwwww down Fall.
This summery peach-blueberry crostata recipe is made with a lavender pie dough, and a juicy fresh peach blueberry filling that’s baked until the crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
I know, the lavender sounds a bit weird but when used subtly it pairs deliciously with the peaches and blueberries.
The crostata dough recipe is from Simply Recipes.
I added dried lavender to the dough recipe which I got on Amazon. You get a good size bag for a cheap price and I’ve used it in my lavender & sea salt chocolate chunk cookies, lavender mocha ice cream and my lavender infused vodka.
It’s good stuff and a little goes a long way :).
The lavender has a minty, earthy flavor similar to rosemary or thyme. It goes well with the sweetness of the crostata filling and it makes the pie dough extra pretty 😉

What’s the difference between a crostata and galette?
Not much! Depends if you want to be more Italian or French :). Crostata is the Italian term and Galette is the French Term.
Either way, a crostata or galette are both an open-faced tart with a filling (typically made with fruit).
The crust is more rustic shaped than a pie which tends to be a little more uniform and decorative.
That’s why I love crostatas because they’re supposed to have that rustic, uneven crust look, making them easier and less-fuss than a pie.

How to make Peach-Blueberry Lavender Crostata:
- Make your crostata pie dough by pulsing the dry ingredients in your food processor until combined. Then, add your cubes of butter and pulse until you have pea-sized crumbs. Slowly drizzle in the water just until combined. Shape into a disc and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
(I love using my food processor for any type of pie dough. My mini processor works great for this recipe because it’s conveniently sized. Plus, the Kitchen aid one comes in cool colors)
-
Combine the filling ingredients in a large bowl, set aside. Roll the crostata dough in a 10-12” circle (it doesn’t have to be completely uniform or even).
-
Place the filling in the center, then fold the sides up towards the middle. Again, it doesn’t have to be perfectly shaped, crostata is free formed so it’s okay if it looks uneven!
-
Brush with egg wash and bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Peach-blueberry lavender crostata will keep up to 2 days, covered at room temperature
