Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 2 cups sliced peaches
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches and blueberries. Gently mix in granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until fruits are evenly coated.
- Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circular shape, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Transfer the rolled pie crust to the prepared baking sheet.
- Arrange the fruit mixture in the center of the pie crust, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Carefully fold the edges of the pie crust over the fruit, creating rustic pleats and leaving the center exposed.
- Whisk the egg and brush the folded crust edges with the egg wash to create a golden shine.
- Sprinkle additional granulated sugar over the exposed fruit and crust edges if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
- Choose ripe, seasonal fruits for the most intense flavor. The better your fruit, the more delicious your galette!
- Keep your pie crust cold before rolling to ensure a flaky, tender texture. Chill it for at least 30 minutes before preparation.
- Don't worry about making the edges perfect - the rustic, imperfect look is part of the galette's charm!
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Let the galette cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set, which prevents a runny mess when slicing.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
- If the edges start browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
