Thank you Apple Annie and this recipe could absolutely be adapted for plums or any fall/winter fruit. I have been thinking about one with pears or even an orange/cranberry galette recipe for the holidays...

This looks beautiful, I would love to make this before our Ohio peach season finishes. Could this recipe also be adapted for plums?
