Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour (can substitute with gluten-free flour blend)
  • ½ cup (50g) almond flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 12 tbsp (170g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¼ cup (60ml) ice water (adjust as needed)
  • 4 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 3 cups)
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tbsp sliced almonds
  • Turbinado sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, quickly cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
  2. Gradually drizzle in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, gently mixing with a fork until the dough just holds together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While the dough chills, toss the sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, cardamom, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a bowl. Set aside to macerate for about 15 minutes.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a roughly 12-inch circle, about ⅛ inch thick. Transfer it carefully to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Spoon the peach filling into the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border all around. Fold the edges of the dough over the peaches, pleating gently to create a rustic edge. Brush the crust edges with the beaten egg, then sprinkle the sliced almonds and turbinado sugar over the crust.
  6. Place the galette in the oven preheated to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
  7. Let the galette cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold for a flaky crust. Don’t overwork the dough to avoid toughness. Use freshly ground cardamom for best flavor. If crust edges brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Peeling peaches by blanching helps achieve a smooth filling. Cornstarch thickens the filling; increase if peaches are very juicy. Dough can be made up to 2 days ahead or frozen for up to one month.
