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.

Top 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.

Substitutions

Peaches

Consider substituting any of the following fruits in place of the peaches. Therefore you shouldn't use more than 1.1 lbs (500g) of fruit total because you don't want it to be too heavy.

  • Strawberries
  • Blueberries
  • Cherries
  • Rhubarb
  • Apples
  • Pears

Almonds

When you are making this peach galette, you can use different nuts. Substitute the almonds for any nuts you prefer. Here are some ideas:

  • Pecans
  • Walnuts
  • Cashews
  • Peanuts
  • Macadamia

FAQs

Why Isn't My Pie Crust Flaky?

When it doesn't turn out right it can be frustrating. There are a few things that could be contributing to this issue.

  • Don't add too much water to the dough. Just add a little bit at a time until it reaches the desired texture. If it's extra wet or sticky then you probably added too much water.
  • Make sure to roll out the dough so it's fairly thin. If the pie crust is too thick, then it won't cook evenly.
  • If there is too much liquid from peaches (or other fruit you use), then it can make it soggy. Drain fruit in a colander or spoon with a slotted spoon or spider skimmer into the crust to make sure no juice gets transferred to the pie crust.

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 before or 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 bake or serve, you will need to place in the fridge overnight. Once thawed you can bake as directed or serve it.

Notes

Recommendations
 
  • Drain juice off of peaches so it doesn't make the fresh galette watery. 
  • To make the best perfectly flaky crust, do not overmix the dough. 
  • Always use fresh peaches for best results. 
  • You don't need to toast almonds ahead of time, because they will toast as the rustic galette is baking. 
  • Serve with a scoop of your favorite ice cream and fresh fruits for an extra special treat. 
 
SUBSTITUTIONS
 
Consider substituting any of the following fruits in place of the peaches. Therefore you shouldn't use more than 1.1 lbs (500g) of fruit total because you don't want it to be too heavy. 
 
  • Strawberries
  • Blueberries
  • Cherries
  • Rhubarb
  • Apples
  • Pears
 
You can use different nuts as well. Substitute the almonds for any nuts you prefer like: 
 
  • Pecans
  • Walnuts
  • Cashews
  • Peanuts
  • Macadamia
 
*First, cut off the straight end of the vanilla bean. Then place the tip of your sharp knife below the curled end and cut the vanilla bean through the middle of the bean lengthwise. Although you don't need to cut it all the way through, it's ok when you do so. Then open the vanilla bean and scrape out the flavorful seeds with the back of your knife. Just use the seeds.

    From experience would you recommend freezing before or after baking?

      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.
