Peach Galette Recipe
Description
The Peach Galette Recipe combines an all-butter pastry crust with a peach filling seasoned with cinnamon and vanilla extract. The dough is prepared by pulsing cold butter into flour, sugar, and salt, then incorporating ice water until it just clumps. Chilled dough is rolled out and filled with sliced peaches tossed in sugar, flour, cinnamon, and vanilla. Small butter pieces dot the filling before the edges of the dough are folded over the peaches. Baking at 425°F yields a golden crust with tender, warm fruit inside. This galette’s balance of flaky crust and juicy, spiced peaches provides a satisfying texture contrast. The recipe lets the fresh peach flavor shine without excess sweetness or heaviness.
This dessert is suitable for serving sliced, either warm or at room temperature. It pairs nicely with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired, but also stands well on its own as a lightly sweet fruit treat. The rustic shape and portable format make it convenient for casual gatherings or family snacks.
Ingredients
For the Galette Crust:
- 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour measured correctly by spooning and leveling
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt fine sea salt
- 8 Tbsp butter very cold, unsalted
- 6 Tbsp water or add to desired consistency, ice
- 1 egg beaten for egg wash
- 1 Tbsp sugar coarse
Peach Filling:
- 1 lb peaches about 3-4 medium peaches or 3 cups sliced, not overly ripe
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract pure
- 1/2 Tbsp butter cut into small pieces, unsalted
Instructions
How to Make the Crust:
- In a food processor with the blade attachment, pulse together the flour, sugar, and salt until combined.
- Cut cold butter into small (1/2-inch) cubes and add it to the food processor. Push the pulse button 8-10 times. Your butter should become pea-sized. Add ice water 1 Tbsp at a time and pulse between each addition. Your dough should be ready when it just begins to clump.
- Form the dough into a disk. Don’t overwork it, just pat it into a disk shape, dust with flour on all sides and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
How to Assemble the Peach Galette:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. On a floured sheet of parchment paper, roll the dough into a 12″ circle with a rolling pin. It doesn't have to be a perfect circle. Place the parchment paper and dough into a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate while you make the peach filling.
- In a small bowl, stir together granulated sugar, flour and cinnamon. Slice peaches into 1/2″ thick slices, place peaches in a medium bowl and sprinkle with flour mixture. Add vanilla and stir gently with a spatula until the flour is fully incorporated.
- Arrange the peaches in a circular pattern over the dough working from the outside in and leaving a 2″ dough border. Discard any excess juices from the peaches, or your galette may overflow. Dot the top of the peaches with small chunks of 1/2 tbsp butter.
- Fold the edges of the galette up and over the peaches, pinching the overlapping edges together to form a nice seal. Try to patch up any cracks in the dough. Brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the peach juices are syrupy. It's ok if it juices start oozing from the bottom. Let sit 15 minutes before serving.
