Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 35 tbsp ice water
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp (43 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract (optional)
  • 3 medium ripe peaches, sliced about 1/2 inch thick
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water (egg wash)
  • 2 tbsp sliced almonds, toasted
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut into flour until coarse crumbs form with some pea-sized pieces. Slowly add ice water starting with 3 tbsp, mixing gently until dough just comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the almond cream filling: Beat softened butter with powdered sugar until creamy. Add almond flour, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and optional almond extract. Mix until smooth and fluffy. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Roast the peaches: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss sliced peaches with honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Spread on parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes until caramelized and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
  4. Assemble the galette: Roll out chilled dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread almond cream evenly over dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange honey roasted peaches on top, overlapping slightly.
  5. Fold and finish: Fold edges of dough over filling, pleating as needed. Brush crust with egg wash. Sprinkle sliced almonds over peaches and crust edges.
  6. Bake: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35 to 40 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles. Check halfway and tent with foil if edges brown too fast.
  7. Cool and serve: Let galette cool on a rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky crust and avoid overworking dough. Roast peaches to reduce moisture and enhance sweetness. Tent crust edges with foil if browning too fast. Let galette cool before slicing to allow almond cream to set. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, substitute coconut oil for butter and maple syrup for honey for vegan version.
