Ingredients

pie crust

2 tablespoon granulated white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, cold
4 tablespoon cold water

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Place 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. Wrap in plastic foil tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour up to 2 days.
Preheat oven to 425°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, stir peaches, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla* to combine. Set aside.
Roll out dough into a ⅛ 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.

Recipe Variations and Substitutions

Use apricots instead of peaches.
Add cinnamon or ginger to the peach filling.
Swap peaches for cherries or berries.

Proper Storage Tips

Cool fully before wrapping.
Reheat slices briefly for the best texture.
Keep crust uncovered until fully cooled.

Pro Tips

Use cold butter for the best galette dough.
Don’t overfill the center.
Watch baking time closely near the end.
I always drain extra peach juices before filling the pastry so the crust stays crisp.
If your peaches are extra sweet, reduce the sugar slightly. If they need brightness, a little lemon juice helps.
A sprinkle of coarse sugar over the crust before baking gives a lovely crunch.
