Ingredients

Peach Filling

  • 6 medium peaches freestone (cling~free), ripe but still firm
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar

Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling: Stir together the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch in a large bowl.
  • Cut each peach into 8 wedges and place in a large bowl. Add sugar mixture to peaches. Gently toss to coat. Add the lemon juice and vanilla; gently toss to combine. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Puff Pastry: Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
  • Carefully open one sheet of thawed puff pastry. On a floured surface, roll it out to a 12~inch X 16~inch rectangle. Using a rolling pin, transfer to a half sheet pan.
  • Remove peaches from the bowl, reserving 4 tablespoons of the liquid. Arrange the peaches in a single layer on the dough, overlapping slightly. Leave a 2~inch border along each edge. Fold each side of the puff pastry up over the fruit. Using a pastry brush, brush the crust with heavy cream, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Drizzle reserved 4 tablespoons liquid from the bowl over the peaches.
  • Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F, and bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes on baking sheet; transfer galette to a wire rack, and cool 1 hour.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream.
