A simple, rustic peach galette with a flaky buttery crust and juicy summer peaches, perfect for homemade desserts and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (about 160 g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (113 g)
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water
  • 4 large fresh ripe peaches, sliced (about 3 cups / 450 g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 g) for filling
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt.
  2. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into flour using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  3. Slowly drizzle in 3 tablespoons ice water, mixing gently with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Add more water if needed, avoiding stickiness.
  4. Shape dough into a flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  5. While dough chills, toss sliced peaches with 1/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Set aside to macerate.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a roughly 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Patch any cracks gently.
  7. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leaving a 2-inch border, pile peach filling in the center.
  8. Fold edges of dough over peaches, pleating as needed to form a rustic crust.
  9. Brush exposed dough edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes until crust is deep golden and peaches are bubbling. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly.
  11. Cool galette on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold for a flaky crust. Chill dough at least 30 minutes before rolling. Use firm peaches to avoid watery filling. Let galette cool before slicing to thicken juices. Tent with foil if crust browns too fast. For gluten-free or vegan versions, substitute flour and butter accordingly.
