Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (312g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for crust)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 4–6 tbsp ice water
  • ¾ cup (75g) almond flour
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • ⅓ cup (67g) granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure almond extract
  • 2 tbsp milk or cream
  • 4–5 medium fresh ripe peaches, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Raw sugar or turbinado sugar (optional, for crust edges)

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups flour, 2 tbsp sugar, and ½ tsp salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  2. Slowly add 4-6 tbsp ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until dough just holds together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the almond filling: Cream 6 tbsp softened butter with ⅓ cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 egg and 1 tsp almond extract.
  4. Fold in ¾ cup almond flour and 2 tbsp flour. Add 2 tbsp milk or cream if mixture is too thick. Set aside.
  5. Prep peaches: Wash and thinly slice 4-5 peaches. Toss with 1 tbsp lemon juice and 2 tbsp sugar. Let sit while dough chills.
  6. Roll out dough on floured surface into a 12-inch circle about ⅛ inch thick. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Assemble galette: Spread almond filling evenly over dough, leaving 2-inch border. Arrange peach slices in concentric circles over filling.
  8. Fold dough edges over peaches, pleating to create rustic edge. Sprinkle crust edges with raw or turbinado sugar if using.
  9. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden and filling is set. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly.
  10. Cool galette on baking sheet at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold to ensure flaky crust. Do not overwork dough to avoid toughness. Use ripe but firm freestone peaches for best texture. Watch oven closely to prevent burning; tent with foil if needed. Almond flour is key for creamy filling texture. Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
