Description

This Peach Galette is a rustic, free-form tart featuring juicy, cinnamon-spiced peaches on a flaky puff pastry crust. Perfectly golden and bubbling with melted butter and brown sugar, this dessert offers a delightful balance of sweet and spice with a crisp, flaky edge. Ideal for serving warm with ice cream or whipped cream, it makes a charming treat for summer gatherings or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
  • 1 large egg (whisked, for egg wash)
  • 2 Tablespoons coarse granulated sugar

For the Filling

  • 4–5 medium peaches (sliced ⅓ inch thick)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the galette.
  2. Prepare Puff Pastry Base: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet just enough to fit the bottom of a 10-inch oven-safe skillet. Gently press it into the pan’s base, pushing slightly up the sides to create a shallow crust. Once fitted, place the skillet with the pastry in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
  3. Make Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, brown sugar, and cornstarch, mixing well to evenly distribute the spices and cornstarch which will help thicken the peach juices as they bake.
  4. Assemble Filling: Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the chilled puff pastry crust. Then, arrange the peach slices on top in overlapping circles or rows for even coverage and appealing presentation. Follow by sprinkling the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the peaches.
  5. Create Rustic Crust Border: Carefully fold the edges of the puff pastry up and over the peach filling to form a rustic border, leaving the center exposed. This gives the galette its signature free-form shape.
  6. Apply Egg Wash and Sugar: Brush the exposed pastry edges generously with the whisked egg to help achieve a golden, shiny crust. Then sprinkle the coarse granulated sugar over the brushed edges to add texture and sparkle.
  7. Add Melted Butter: Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the peach filling to enhance richness and aid caramelization during baking.
  8. Bake the Galette: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the puff pastry crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling hot.
  9. Cool before Serving: Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool for 10–15 minutes. This resting time allows the filling to set slightly for easier slicing. Serve warm, ideally with ice cream or whipped cream to complement the warm, spiced peaches.

Notes

  • Make sure peaches are ripe but firm for best texture and flavor.
  • Chilling the puff pastry before assembling helps maintain flakiness during baking.
  • If you don’t have a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, a baking sheet or tart pan can be used instead.
  • The coarse sugar on the crust can be substituted with sanding sugar or turbinado sugar for similar effect.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 1 day or refrigerated for 2–3 days and reheated gently.
