Description

This Peach Galette recipe features a flaky, buttery crust paired with sweet, juicy peaches and a tempting syrup filling. It’s easy to make and perfect for a delightful dessert that combines rustic charm with fresh fruit flavors.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 Refrigerated pie crust

Filling

  • 3 cups Peaches, sliced
  • ⅛ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅛ cup brown sugar
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1½ teaspoons butter

Topping

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 teaspoons coarse sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the galette.
  2. Prepare the Crust: Carefully unroll the refrigerated pie crust onto a piece of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the crust into a 12-inch circle, dusting the rolling pin with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Then lift the parchment paper with the crust and place it on a rimmed half-sheet pan.
  3. Make Lemon Mixture: Juice half a lemon into a medium mixing bowl, then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Next, whisk in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
  4. Add Sugars and Cinnamon: Slowly whisk in ⅛ cup granulated sugar, ⅛ cup brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon into the lemon-cornstarch mixture until well combined.
  5. Coat Peaches: Pour the lemon-sugar mixture over 3 cups of sliced peaches in a large mixing bowl. Gently stir with a spatula to evenly coat the peaches without breaking them.
  6. Arrange Peaches on Crust: Place the coated peaches on the crust in a circular pattern, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edge free.
  7. Fold Crust Edges: Fold the outer edges of the crust over the peaches, crimping the dough as necessary to secure it and create a rustic border.
  8. Add Butter: Dot the peach filling with 1½ teaspoons of small pieces of butter for added richness.
  9. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon milk. Brush this egg wash over the exposed crust edges to help it brown and develop a shiny finish.
  10. Sprinkle Sugar: Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of coarse sugar over the crust for added texture and sweetness.
  11. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake the galette for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  12. Check for Doneness: After 25 minutes, check the crust color. If it’s not golden brown, continue baking for an additional 5 minutes or until the desired color is achieved.
  13. Rest and Serve: Remove the galette from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture and flavor.
  • The lemon juice prevents the peaches from browning and adds brightness.
  • Be gentle when stirring the peaches to keep the slices intact.
  • You can substitute cornstarch with tapioca flour if preferred for thickening.
  • Serve the galette warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
