Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup almond flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Add 10 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 2: Gradually add 4-5 tbsp ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, toss 3 medium peeled and sliced peaches with 3 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until evenly coated.
- Step 4: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a sheet of parchment paper.
- Step 5: Arrange the peach slices in the center of the dough circle, leaving a 2-inch border all around. Fold the edges over the peaches, pleating as needed to create a rustic crust.
- Step 6: Brush the crust edges with 1 beaten egg and sprinkle 1/4 cup sliced almonds over the crust.
- Step 7: Carefully transfer the galette and parchment paper to the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes until the crust is golden and peaches are tender, checking occasionally to avoid burning.
- Step 8: Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving warm.
