Galette
- Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out pie crust dough onto floured surface to a 10-12" circle. Place dough onto cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle center of dough with Almond Flour or Almond Meal.3 Tbsp Almond Flour
- Assemble peaches onto the crust leaving a 2 inch border. This galette used a spiral of overlapping peaches, but you can arrange them any way you choose.
- Fold dough over and crimp to enclose the peaches. This will create an open center with a “pizza crust” look. Use water to seal the dough seams.
- Brush the folded crust with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.1 Egg and 1 Tbsp water stirred together with a fork, 3 Tbsp Sparkling Sugar
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until crust is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on pan for 10 minutes.
- Juices will look runny, but they will solidify as the galette cools.
- Transfer galette by sliding parchment paper off the cookie sheet and onto a wire cooling rack.
- Let galette cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Serve slices warm or at room temperature. This peach galette pairs beautifully with a scoop of salted honey ice cream, extra peaches with homemade peach ice cream, or a dollop of lightly sweetened crème fraîche.
