Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for dough)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 8 tbsp (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3–5 tbsp ice water
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
  • 4–5 medium fresh Georgia peaches (about 2 lbs/900g), peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water (egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional, for crust edges)

Instructions

  1. Make the Galette Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or food processor pulses until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter bits. Slowly add ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, mixing gently until dough just holds together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and slice peaches. Toss with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Assemble the Galette: Spoon peach mixture into center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges up and over peaches, overlapping slightly. Brush edges with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake galette for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and peaches are bubbly. Tent with foil after 25 minutes if edges brown too quickly.
  6. Make Honey Whipped Cream: Chill bowl and beaters. Whip cold heavy cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Add honey and vanilla extract, whip until combined and fluffy.
  7. Serve: Let galette cool 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve with honey whipped cream on top or alongside.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure flaky crust. Do not overwork dough to avoid toughness. Toss peaches with cornstarch to prevent soggy crust. Tent galette with foil if edges brown too quickly. Whip cream last minute for best texture. Peeling peaches is easier after blanching and scoring an X on the bottom.
