Peach Galette is a rustic, free-form tart filled with sweet, juicy peaches and wrapped in a golden, flaky crust. Easier than pie but just as satisfying, it’s the perfect dessert for summer gatherings or casual treats.

Ingredients

  • 4–5 fresh ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or flour
  • 1 pie dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
  • All-purpose flour (for dusting, if needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out pie dough into a 12-inch circle and place on prepared sheet.
  3. In a bowl, toss peach slices with granulated sugar, brown sugar (if using), lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and cornstarch until coated.
  4. Arrange peaches in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
  5. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating as needed to form a rustic crust.
  6. Brush crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Add raspberries or blackberries for a tangy twist.
  • Brush crust with apricot jam before adding peaches for richness.
  • Sprinkle ground almonds or crushed pistachios under fruit to soak up juices.
  • Use plant-based dough and omit egg wash for a dairy-free version.
  • Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
