Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 batch chilled homemade or store-bought pie crust (about 9-inch round)
  • 45 medium ripe peaches, thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup almond flour (finely ground)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp honey (raw preferred)
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tbsp turbinado sugar or coarse sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the frangipane: In a medium bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in honey and almond extract.
  3. Gently fold in almond flour, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt until smooth and spreadable. Set aside.
  4. Toss thinly sliced peaches with lemon juice to brighten and prevent browning.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pie crust into a roughly 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for 10 minutes if dough feels too soft.
  6. Spread an even layer of honey almond frangipane over the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border around edges.
  7. Neatly layer peach slices on top of frangipane, slightly overlapping.
  8. Fold edges of dough over peaches, pleating to keep rustic shape with center open.
  9. Brush folded dough edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  10. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake galette for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden and peaches are bubbling.
  11. Let galette cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing to allow frangipane to set.

Notes

If crust edges brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Use a mandoline for uniform peach slices. Chill dough if too soft before baking. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and flax eggs; substitute honey with maple syrup. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep crust flaky.
