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:
- In a food processor, pulse together flour, salt, and sugar until combined.
- Add cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, pulsing until dough forms.
- Transfer dough to a counter and knead a few times to form a smooth mass.
- Shape into a 1/2-inch-thick disc, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Prepare the Filling:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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:
- On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 14-inch circle.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Arrange the peach filling in the center, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling.
- Brush the edges with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- 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.
