Pear Galette

December 7, 2025 / Jenny / 0 Comments

Embrace the warmth of winter baking with a cozy pear galette. Luscious spiced pears are wrapped in a simple, tender pastry crust for a comforting treat on a cold day. Galettes are so much fun to make because they are easier to make than a pie, yet you can still enjoy the essence of homemade pastry. They are also very versatile and I love to use whatever fruits I have on hand for the filling.

Pears are excellent winter fruits, as they store so well and they are packed with nutrients, not to mention a naturally sweet flavor. In this pear galette recipe, the fruit is spiced with cinnamon, ginger, plus a hint of freshly squeezed lemon juice, creating a delicious filling that pairs nicely with the classic pastry.

Parmesan Rosemary Scones

These delicious savory scones are moist and flaky, full of the rich flavor of parmesan cheese and subtle hints of fresh rosemary. While scones are often sweet and flavored with dried fruit or chocolate, savory scones are very versatile and are typically filled with different types of cheeses, herbs, and sometimes meat.

Savory scones taste really good with a cup of tea, but they are also a wonderful accompaniment to soup, stew, or even as part of breakfast. As we head into soup season, these savory scones are a nice alternative to bread or rolls. Or if you are hosting guests over the holidays, a plate of homemade scones can solve a multitude of needs, whether it’s a satisfying snack or an excuse to sit down for tea and conversation.

Simple Pear Apple Crisp

This irresistible Pear Apple Crisp recipe hits the spot on a chilly fall or winter evening. Spiced pears and apples are baked with a rich streusel topping of brown sugar, oats, and pecans, creating a dessert that is fruity and satisfying.

While apples get a lot of glory (and deservedly so) in baking, pears are the unsung heroes of fall and winter fruits. Their tender texture and naturally sweet flavor blends beautifully with the tart apples and when baked with aromatic spices like cinnamon, and nutmeg, a delicious combination emerges from the oven.
