Rustic Peach Galette (Free Form Peach Pie)
Description
The Rustic Peach Galette starts with a homemade pastry dough made from flour, cold unsalted butter, salt, egg, vinegar, and cold water. The dough is cut with cold butter to create layers for flakiness, then chilled prior to rolling out. The peach filling uses thin slices of fresh peaches lightly coated with sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch to balance sweetness and thicken fruit juices during baking.
The galette is assembled by rolling the dough into a rough circle, arranging the peach slices neatly within the center while leaving the edges free for folding over. An egg wash blended with sugar is brushed onto the crust edges to promote browning and add a subtle sweetness. Baking at 425°F for about 20 minutes develops a crisp, golden crust and tender fruit filling.
This dessert fits well as a seasonal treat utilizing fresh peaches. Its free-form shape requires no pie dish, making it a flexible dessert to assemble for gatherings or casual meals. It pairs nicely with whipped cream or ice cream for added richness and contrast to the fruit's freshness.
Ingredients
Pastry Crust
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 8 tbsp butter very cold, unsalted
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp water very cold
Filling
- 6 peach large
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp corn starch
Egg Wash
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 egg whisked
Instructions
Pastry Crust
- Combine the flour and salt. Cut the butter directly into the flour. Stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, water, and vinegar.
- Combine all the dough ingredients together. If the dough is too dry, add a little water just until it sticks. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Pie Filling
- Slice peaches into thin slices. Place them into a bowl and sprinkle them with sugar, corn starch, and cinnamon. Toss until well coated.
Assembling the Pie
- Divide dough into two equal pieces or keep it in one piece for a large galette. Roll out each piece into a circular shape (it doesn't need to look perfect, just ensure there are no holes).
- Arrange the peach slices in circles, starting from the middle of the dough. Be careful to leave enough space on the outer edges so you can fold them over to form the crust.
- Whisk the eggs together. Brush the crust with the egg wash and sprinkle on the sugar.
- Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes, or until the galette is golden brown. Enjoy!
