Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water, chilled
  • 4–5 medium fresh peaches, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling on crust
  • Optional: slivered almonds or chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits.
  2. Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until dough just holds together. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Peel and thinly slice peaches. Toss slices with brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and flour.
  4. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll dough into a roughly 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Pile peach mixture in center of dough, leaving about a 2-inch border. Fold dough edges over filling, pleating as needed. Brush crust with water or beaten egg and sprinkle coarse sugar if desired.
  6. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and peaches are bubbling. Cover with foil if crust browns too fast.
  7. While baking, whisk powdered sugar, milk, vanilla bean seeds or extract, and salt until smooth and pourable. Adjust thickness as needed.
  8. After galette cools slightly (10-15 minutes), drizzle vanilla bean glaze over the top and serve.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold to ensure flaky crust. Do not overwork dough to avoid toughness. Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent sogginess. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes for best texture. Drizzle glaze after galette cools slightly to maintain texture. Cover crust with foil if browning too quickly during baking.
