Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3-4 tbsp ice water
- 3 medium ripe peaches, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Cut in 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter cubes with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 3: Drizzle 3 tbsp ice water over flour mixture, stirring gently until dough just comes together; add up to 1 tbsp more water if needed.
- Step 4: Shape dough into a flat disk, wrap in plastic, and chill in refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Step 5: In a separate bowl, toss 3 medium sliced peaches with 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tsp lemon juice until well coated.
- Step 6: Roll chilled dough on lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to prepared sheet pan.
- Step 7: Arrange peach slices evenly over dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold border edges over peaches, pleating dough to create a rustic edge.
- Step 8: Whisk 1 egg yolk with 1 tbsp milk and brush the dough edges for a golden crust.
- Step 9: Sprinkle 1/4 cup sliced almonds over peaches and crust edge.
- Step 10: Bake galette for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden and peaches are bubbling.
- Step 11: While warm, mix 1/3 cup powdered sugar with 1/2 tsp almond extract and 1 tsp lemon juice to make glaze. Drizzle glaze over galette before serving.
