A buttery freeform crust surrounds a juicy fruit filling in this simple and delicious peach galette recipe.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup ice water
  • Egg wash (1 egg + 1 tablespoon water, beaten)
  • Turbinado sugar, for topping

For the Filling:

  • 6 fresh peaches, pitted and sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions

Make the Pie Dough:

  1. In a food processor, pulse together flour, salt, and sugar until combined.
  2. Add cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, pulsing until dough forms.
  4. Transfer dough to a counter and knead a few times to form a smooth mass.
  5. Shape into a 1/2-inch-thick disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Prepare the Filling:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss peach slices with brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, salt, vanilla, lemon zest, and juice. Let sit for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assemble and Bake:

  1. On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 14-inch circle.
  2. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Arrange the peach filling in the center, leaving a 1-inch border.
  4. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling.
  5. Brush the edges with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • 100% recommend serving slices of this galette with vanilla ice cream.
  • No need to peel the peaches for this recipe! The skin softens considerably during baking.
  • You can make the pie crust ahead of time and freeze it. Once you’ve assembled the pie dough, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, then place it in a resealable freezer bag; freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator until you’re able to roll out the dough. Proceed with the recipe as written.
