Make The Pastry Crust

  1. Combine dry ingredients. Into the bowl of your food processor, add your 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Press the pulse button a few times to get everything well combined.
  2. Add butter. Next, add the 1 cup of cubed butter and repeatedly pulse the food processor until the butter has broken down into small, pea-sized pieces.
  3. Add ice water. Add your ¼ cup of ice water in small, tablespoon increments, making sure to pulse the food processor in between each addition. Check the consistency of the dough by squeezing it in your hand. You want the dough to be able to hold together.¼ cup ice water
  4. Knead dough and chill. Transfer the dough to some plastic wrap and knead it a handful of times. Then, gently pat it down into a disk that is approximately 1-inch thick. Cover it with plastic wrap and move it to the fridge to chill for 1 hour.
  5. Preheat oven and rest dough. While your dough is chilling, go ahead and preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Transfer the chilled dough to the counter and allow it to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes in order to keep it from cracking.
  6. Roll dough. Use a well-floured rolling pin to roll out the dough until it is about ¼-inch thick and then transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Make The Peach Filling

  1. Mix ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, add your 1 pound of peaches, ¼ cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 ½ tablespoon of flour. Stir gently until all of the ingredients are well combined.

Assemble Your Peach Galette

  1. Beat egg with milk. First, prepare your 1 large egg wash by lightly beating together the egg and 1 tablespoon of milk in a small mixing bowl.
  2. Add peach filling. Next, scoop your peach filling into the center of the prepared pastry crust, leaving a 2-3 inch border around the outside edge.
  3. Fold in the edges of the dough. Then, carefully fold the edge of the pastry dough over the peach filling and pinch together the overlapping dough. Brush your egg wash over the dough border and sprinkle it with the optional 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar.
  4. Bake. Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the peach filling is bubbling.
  5. Cool galette and serve. Once done, remove from the oven and allow the galette to cool for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

To complete this delicious dessert, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a spoonful of whipped cream on top. Enjoy!

💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

  • When choosing your peaches, you want them to be perfectly ripe. If you apply pressure, they should have a slight give without your fingers leaving an indention behind.
  • For another tasty and easy crust option, check out my butter pie crust recipe!
  • To add some extra richness to your filling, you can add ½ tablespoon of cubed butter on top of your filling before baking the galette.
  • Of course, you can use store-bought pie crust or puff pastry for an extra easy variation!
  • Don't worry if your dough cracks while you are rolling it. Simply press the cracks back together and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes before continuing.

🥡 Storing & Reheating Peach Galette

Keep your leftover galette in an airtight storage container in the fridge for a maximum of 4 days.

Place your peach galette into a sealed container and store it in the freezer for 1 month. Simply allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before you reheat it.

Reheating Peach Galette

Warm up your leftovers using 20-second bursts in the microwave or by baking them at 325°F (165°C) until it is well heated.

❓ Recipe FAQs

Can I Make This Peach Galette Ahead Of Time?

Yes! You can make the dough and filling ahead of time if you store both in airtight containers. Assemble and bake within 3 days.

Is Peach Galette Served Hot Or Cold?

One of the best things about this fruit dessert is that it is versatile. You can enjoy this sweet treat hot or cold!

Is Galette Crust The Same As Pie Crust?

Galette crust has the same type of crust as pie, however, it is a freeform crust and lays flat. Whereas a pie is formed to hold a higher structure as it rises on the sides of a pie pan.
