Put flour, sugar, salt, and butter in a food processor and pulse for a few seconds. Larger butter flakes should be still visible. Add one tablespoon water at the time and pulse for 1-2 times after every tablespoon.
Form pie crust into a disc without kneading and wrap in plastic foil tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour up to 2 days.
In a large mixing bowl, stir peaches, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla to combine. Set aside.
Roll out dough into a â…› inch (0.4cm) thick circle and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon peaches without any liquid in the center of the dough, leaving a 3-inch border all around. Fold edges over peaches and press gently to seal the edges.
Brush edges with egg, and sprinkle with almond slices. Bake for about 25-28 minutes. Allow cooling at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Expert tips for success
- Drain juice off of peaches so it doesn't make the galette watery.
- To make the best perfectly flaky crust, do not overmix the dough.
- Don't use toasted almonds, because they will toast as the galette is baking.
What to do when peaches are not in season?
When peaches are not in season, I make this galette with other fruit and it works just as well. Whatever you choose, don't use more than 1.1 lbs (500g) of fruit total. Here are my tested favorites:
- Plums
- Blueberries
- Apples
- Pears
How to store it and how long does it last?
Always store it wrapped in an airtight container. You can choose to store it in the fridge or on the counter. Either way is fine, so go off of your preference. It will last 2-3 days.
Can I freeze it?
Yes, it can be frozen after it's baked for up to 1 month. Most importantly, you will need to tightly wrap the galette and store in an airtight container to keep it fresh. When ready to serve, let thaw on the kitchen counter for 1-2 hours or reheat in the oven for 10 minutes.

From experience would you recommend freezing before or after baking?
Sabine
You could freeze the unbaked dough and the fruits separately and then assemble it once thawed. When already assembled, I recommend freezing after baking. Otherwise, the leaking water of the thawing fruits could make your crust soggy.

I knew that I have to make this galette as soon as peaches are available in the store. SO delicious. Great recipe.
