How To Make Almond Peach Galette

FIRST STEP: 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.

SECOND STEP: Form pie crust into a disc without kneading and wrap in plastic foil tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour up to 2 days.

FOURTH STEP: In a large mixing bowl, stir peaches, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla to combine. Set aside.

FIFTH STEP: Roll out dough into a 1/8 inch (0.4cm) thick circle and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

SIXTH STEP: 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. 

SEVENTH STEP: 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.

Baker’s Tips

• 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 additional 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

Can I Use Different Nuts Instead Of Almonds?

Yes, when you are making this fresh galette with pie crust, you can use different nuts. Substitute the almonds for any nuts you prefer. Here are some ideas:

• Pecans
• Walnuts
• Cashews
• Peanuts
• Macadamia

Frequently Asked Questions And Answers

What Is In A Galette?

A galette has a pie crust and is filled with fruit, nuts and even chocolate sometimes. Each recipe is different, but you will find tons of fruit combinations ranging from berries to apples. 

You will also find that you can use savory ingredients when making a galette also. Really there are no wrong answers! 

Why Isn’t My Pie Crust Flaky?

When you make this fresh galette with pie crust and 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 The Almond Peach Galette And How Long Does It Last?

Always store the peach almond galette 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.

You will notice if it begins to go bad that the crust will end up really dried out, extra moist, or fall apart easily. Discard it if there is a question. 

Can You Freeze This Almond Peach Galette?

Yes, you can freeze this galette. 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.

*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.
