A rustic yet elegant peach galette featuring a flaky almond crust made with rich brown butter, delivering a nutty depth and caramelized juicy peaches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) almond meal
  • ¼ cup (30g) granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 stick (113g) unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
  • 3–4 tbsp ice-cold water
  • 4–5 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp sliced almonds
  • Turbinado sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling until milk solids turn golden brown and smell nutty, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, almond meal, sugar, and salt. Pour in the browned butter and stir until crumbly.
  3. Gradually add 3 tablespoons of ice-cold water, mixing until dough holds together when pressed. Add extra tablespoon if needed. Do not overwork.
  4. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. In a medium bowl, toss sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about ¼ inch thick. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Spoon peach mixture into center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges up over filling, pleating for a rustic look.
  8. Brush crust with beaten egg, sprinkle sliced almonds and turbinado sugar on top.
  9. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and peaches are bubbly. Tent with foil if crust browns too fast.
  10. Cool galette for at least 15 minutes before slicing to allow filling to thicken.

Notes

Watch butter closely when browning to avoid burning. Keep dough cold and do not overmix for flaky crust. Use fresh, firm peaches for best texture. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness. Dough can be prepared and chilled up to 24 hours ahead. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained.
