Homemade Peach Galette

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 stick ½ cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • water with a few ice cubes
  • 1 egg + splash of milk for brushing on crust
  • crystalized/coarse sugar

Filling

  • 3 peaches sliced in thin wedges
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp lemon juice fresh squeezed

Instructions

  • PIE CRUST - In a bowl, mix flour and salt, then cut chilled butter into mixture. Create a crumbly mixture by breaking the butter and combining with flour.
  • Once you have finer crumbles, begin adding iced water (a tablespoon or two at a time) and continue mixing until larger clumps are formed. Combine gently into dough ball.
  • Turn out onto a floured surface and gently knead dough into a rough disc. Wrap in plastic and let chill for 30 minutes in fridge or 15 minutes in freezer.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • FRUIT FILLING - Thinly slice peaches and place in a large bowl. Add sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix well until combined.
  • Roll out pie dough to large 11" round(ish) shape. Place dough on parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Before spooning peaches onto dough, be sure to sprinkle a layer of flour on your dough round in the center where the fruit will go. This will keep your dough from getting soggy in the middle bottom.
  • Spoon peaches into center of dough, leaving a 2-3" border.
  • Fold dough over and pinch to enclose peaches, leaving the center open.
  • Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  • Bake for 35-45mins, until crust is golden and juices are bubbling.
  • Cool on sheet for 10mins before serving. Optionally dust with powdered sugar once it's cooled.
  • Store in fridge. Serve cold or reheated, on it's own or with ice cream or whipped cream.
