Scale
Pastry Crust
- Refrigerated pie crust (or this 👉🏻 homemade pie crust dough)
Peach Filling
- 4 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick), sliced into pats
Egg Wash (for brushing)
- 1 large egg, separated (separate egg yolk from egg white)
- 1 teaspoon water
For Garnishing
- 1 tablespoon white sparkling sugar (coarse decorating sugar), or turbinado sugar
Instructions
RECIPE PREP: Line a baking tray (or a 12-inch, nonstick pizza tray) with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Do a taste test. If desired, add a pinch of salt.
- Add sliced peaches to the bowl. Toss well to coat the peaches.
- Roll out the pie crust. Arrange it on the prepared tray. Brush it with egg white. Pile up the fruit in the center, leaving the sugary juices behind in the bowl. Leave a 2-inch border around the edge. Fold the sides of the dough inward over peaches, leaving the center open. The edges will overlap into pleats.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Chill the galette in the freezer for 15 minutes (or in the fridge for 20 minutes).
- Drizzle honey over the fruit. Evenly dot the filling with pats of butter. Whisk the egg yolk and water together to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the tart with egg wash. Sprinkle sparkling sugar over edges of the pastry and the peach filling.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Remove the dessert from the oven. Set the pan on a wire rack to cool. If the fruit is a bit dehydrated, drizzle melted butter over the top to perk it up and make it shine.
