Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
  • 4 large fresh ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1/2 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits. Slowly add 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water, stirring until dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice 4 large ripe peaches. Toss with 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons bourbon, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Let marinate while preheating grill.
  3. Grill the Peaches: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Arrange peach slices on grill grates. Grill about 2 minutes per side until grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly but do not become mushy. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a roughly 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Assemble the Galette: Pile grilled peaches in center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges of dough over fruit, pleating to create rustic edge. Brush crust lightly with water or beaten egg for golden finish. Optionally sprinkle with sugar.
  6. Bake: Bake in preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and peach juices bubble.
  7. Make the Vanilla Cream: While galette bakes, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Chill until serving.
  8. Serve: Let galette cool 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a dollop of vanilla cream on top.

Notes

Use cold butter and chill dough to ensure a flaky crust. If crust edges brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Grilling peaches adds smoky flavor but broiling or grill pan can be used as alternatives. Dough can be made ahead and chilled or frozen. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend; for dairy-free, use vegan butter and coconut cream.
