Description
A rustic and juicy summer dessert featuring a flaky crust wrapped around sweet peaches with cinnamon and vanilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 3–4 tbsp ice-cold water
- For the filling:
- 4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- For finishing:
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tbsp coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
- Gradually add ice-cold water one tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough starts to come together. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the filling: Combine sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat and set aside.
- Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Assemble the galette: Spoon the peach mixture into the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold and pleat the edges over the filling to create a rustic edge.
- Brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle coarse sugar over the crust and fruit edges.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and peach juices bubble.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Chilling the dough prevents shrinking during baking.
- The galette can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Substitute other stone fruits like nectarines or apricots if desired.
