Description
A rustic peach galette made with fresh, juicy peaches nestled in an all-butter pie crust, lightly sweetened and spiced with vanilla and cinnamon. Finished with an apricot glaze and best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 all-butter pie crust (homemade preferred)
- 1¼ lbs fresh peaches (about 5 large), halved, pitted, and sliced into ¼-inch wedges
- 5 tbsp granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1 large egg
- 1½ tsp water (divided)
- Coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
- 1 tbsp apricot jam (for glazing)
- Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prep Dough: Roll the pie crust into a 13-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill while preparing the filling.
- Make Filling: In a bowl, gently toss peach slices with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and cinnamon. Let the mixture rest in a strainer over another bowl to remove excess juice.
- Assemble Galette: Arrange the peaches in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges over the fruit, pleating the dough as you go. Chill for 10–15 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Beat the egg with ½ tsp water and brush the crust. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 50–60 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
- Glaze: Warm apricot jam with 1 tsp water and brush over the baked fruit for a shiny finish.
- Cool & Serve: Let the galette cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
To prevent soggy crust, be sure to drain the peaches well after tossing with sugar. You can substitute apricot jam with peach or orange marmalade. Works great with nectarines too.
