  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¼ to cup ice water
  • 45 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Additional sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Crust: Mix the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add cold, cubed butter and cut in with a pastry cutter or fork until coarse crumbs form. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to come together. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preparing the Peaches: Toss sliced peaches with brown sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Let sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. Assembling the Galette: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange peach slices in the center with a 2-inch border. Fold the edges over the fruit, pleating to create a rustic appearance. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
  4. Baking the Galette: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden and peaches are bubbly. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use fully thawed frozen peaches and drain excess moisture before using.
  • For gluten-free options, substitute with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
  • You can prepare the crust and assemble the galette a day in advance; refrigerate and bake just before serving.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Drizzle honey or caramel for extra indulgence.
