Peach Galette

Peach Galette

A rustic free-form peach tart with a buttery, flaky crust. Easier than pie and just as good.
Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings: 8 servings
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: French

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp ice water
For the filling
  • 4 peaches, sliced
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 egg, beaten, for brushing

Method
 

  1. Cut the butter into the flour and sugar until crumbly, then add ice water and form a disc. Chill 30 minutes.
  2. Roll the dough into a rough circle on parchment.
  3. Toss the peaches with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice, then pile in the center, leaving a border.
  4. Fold the edges over the fruit and brush the crust with beaten egg.
  5. Bake at 400F for 35 to 40 minutes until golden and bubbling.

Notes

Keep the butter cold for the flakiest crust. Let the galette cool so the filling sets before slicing.
