Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
  • 2–3 tablespoons ice water (more if needed)
  • 4–5 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or arrowroot powder for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)
  • Vanilla bean ice cream (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir frequently as it foams and then starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly but do not let it harden.
  2. Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar. Pour in the warm brown butter and stir with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Chill for 20-30 minutes if sticky.
  3. Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice peaches. Toss them gently with sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
  4. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Assemble the Galette: Pile the peach filling in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges up and over the filling, pleating as needed. Brush crust with beaten egg and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
  6. Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake galette for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and peach juices bubble. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly.
  7. Cool & Serve: Let cool on baking sheet for 15 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

Notes

Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Chill dough if sticky to make rolling easier. Tent with foil if crust edges brown too fast. Can substitute gluten-free flour and vegan butter for dietary needs. Serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat in oven to refresh crust.
