Print Recipe

A simple and delicious summer dessert featuring a flaky brown butter crust filled with juicy peaches, baked to golden perfection and served warm with creamy vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly
  • 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water, as needed
  • 4–5 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Turbinado sugar or coarse sugar, for sprinkling
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown and nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Slowly pour in the warm brown butter and mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Dough will be crumbly.
  3. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, stirring gently until dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Shape dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Combine sliced peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss gently and let macerate for 15 minutes.
  6. Roll chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Spoon peach filling into the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over filling, pleating as needed.
  8. Brush crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  9. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and peaches are bubbly, rotating pan halfway through.
  10. Cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Watch the butter closely when browning to avoid burning. Chill dough well to make rolling easier and prevent soggy crust. Rotate galette halfway through baking for even color. Use a baking sheet on a lower rack to catch drips if peaches release too much juice. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and dairy-free ice cream.
