Summer Peach Galette

Peachy Paradise in a Rustic Crust 🍑✨

Okay, real talk—how is it that summer always seems to fly by way too fast?! Like, one minute you’re lounging by the pool, and the next, you’re staring at a pile of school supplies. But hey, if there’s one thing that makes all the summer madness worth it, it’s peach season. Seriously, who can resist juicy, sweet peaches?!

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, so let’s hit the grocery store together (because, who doesn’t love a good grocery run?!). Here’s what ya need:

– Butter (1/2 cup, super cold—trust me, cold is the key here)
– All-purpose flour (1-1/4 cups, plus a sprinkle for rolling)
– Organic cane sugar (1/2 Tbsp, not too sweet)
– Sea salt (1/2 tsp, for that *oomph*)
– Apple cider vinegar (1/2 Tbsp—don’t skip this, it’s magic)
– Ice water (4-6 Tbsp, like ice ice baby)
– Peaches (about 3 cups, maybe 4 medium ones—slice ‘em up, baby!)
– Brown sugar (1/4 cup, packed tight)
– Lemon juice (juice of half a lemon, fresh is best)
– Vanilla extract (1 tsp, yes please)
– Arrowroot starch (1 Tbsp, for thickening)
– Cinnamon & ginger (just a pinch, but oh-so-tasty)
– Optional: Apricot or peach jelly (1 Tbsp, if you’re feeling fancy)
– Optional: An egg wash (1 egg yolk + 1 tsp milk) for that golden crust.

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Alright, gather ’round. So, the first time I made this galette, I was having a complete kitchen disaster. I tried to bake something fancier (probably a soufflé or some nonsense) and ended up flinging flour everywhere. Like, I didn’t even know flour could get into the weirdest nooks of my kitchen. Long story short: I had a bunch of peaches sitting around, and I was like, “Why not?!”

Fast forward to flour-covered chaos—I’m whipping up this galette, and my friend comes over. I was a hot mess, but when that galette came out of the oven, it smelled divine. My friends were like, “Whoa, this is SO good!” I’m not joking when I say we devoured it in minutes. Ever since then, it’s been my go-to summer recipe. Plus, you can literally throw any fruit in, so it’s kinda foolproof. Just one slice and you’re transported to peach paradise. 🍑🌈

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Listen closely, this is the secret sauce: keep that butter cold! Like, freeze it if you can. When you cut it into the flour, it makes your crust flakier than a pastry chef’s dream. Seriously, no one wants a tough pie crust. No one! Just trust me and keep it cool.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

Okay, here’s where I save you from my past mistakes:

1. Don’t overwork the dough. It’s not a workout, it’s a galette! Just mix until it comes together.

2. Check your peaches! Make sure they’re ripe, but not mushy—nobody wants a soggy galette!

3. Egg wash or not? If you want that shiny finish, go for it! But if you’re lazy (like me sometimes), skipping it is totally fine.

4. Leave it messy! The rustic look is charming! Perfection is overrated.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

If you *somehow* have leftovers (which I doubt), just pop it in the fridge for up to 2 days. But let’s be real, it probably won’t last that long! If you need to freeze it, wrap it up tight and stick it in the freezer before it gets too soggy. Just reheat in the oven when you’re ready to dive back in.
