Before we jump into the rolling and assembling of the galette, it’s crucial to let the peach filling sit for at least 15-30 minutes after tossing with sugar and spices. This step allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a more complex and rich taste profile. The sugar draws out the natural juices from the peaches, which intensifies their sweetness and enhances the overall flavor of the galette.

Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes

6-8 tablespoons ice water

4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

¼ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Crushed pistachios or almonds (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and granulated sugar. Add the chilled butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes to develop juices.

      Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

        Roll out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter, approximately ¼ inch thick. Transfer it carefully to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

          Assemble the Galette: Place the peach filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the peaches, pleating it as you go. Brush the exposed dough with the beaten egg to give it a golden color when baked.

            Bake the Galette: Place the galette in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.

              Chill the Galette: Once baked, remove the galette from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. To serve chilled, cover it and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

                Serve: Once chilled, slice the galette and garnish with crushed pistachios or almonds, and fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
