Peach Almond Galette
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup almond meal
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together the almond meal, brown sugar, and almond extract. Sprinkle this mixture over the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
- Arrange the sliced peaches over the almond mixture. Fold the edges of the dough over the peaches, pleating as needed.
- Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle the sliced almonds over the peaches. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar over the entire galette.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are tender.
- Allow the galette to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
The Peach Almond Galette is a delightful French pastry that originated in the Alsace region. This rustic, free-form tart features a buttery, flaky crust filled with ripe, juicy peaches and a sweet almond filling. Renowned chefs like Julia Child and Jacques Pépin have popularized this delectable dessert, and it has become a staple in many French patisseries. The key to a perfect Peach Almond Galette lies in using the freshest, ripest peaches and achieving the ideal balance of sweetness and nuttiness in the almond filling. For a twist, some chefs incorporate a hint of fragrant vanilla or a splash of Amaretto liqueur. Today, the best versions of this classic treat can be found in charming patisseries and bakeries across France, where it's enjoyed with a dollop of crème fraîche or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
