3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make a Perfect Flaky Peach Galette

Preparing the Dough

If you’re making your own buttery crust, visit our blog for an easy recipe. Roll out your pastry into a 12-inch circle and transfer it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Making the Peach Filling

In a bowl, combine the sliced peaches with sugar, flour, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss gently to coat all the slices evenly.

Assembling the Galette

Pile the peach filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, pleating as needed, to create a rustic frame. Brush the exposed crust with the beaten egg and drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle with coarse sugar for extra crunch.

Baking

Bake the galette in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. For a quicker cooling process, consider using the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker for a chilled beverage to go with your dessert.

Allow the galette to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To enjoy it later, reheat in a warm oven or toaster oven until the crust is flaky again.
