I saw a similar recipe in the newspaper using apricots and decided to try something similar with peaches, which I love. Everyone who tried it thought it was great!

Peach and Almond Galette on a serving platter.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This fresh peach and almond galette is a wonderful treat. The great thing about a galette is that they are rustic and don't have to be perfect like a pie. Easy to throw together, the filling has an ample amount of juicy peaches with a hint of almond flavoring on top of a slightly crisp pie crust. Sprinkling almonds on top adds a nice extra crunch. This dessert is pretty to serve and tastes like summer.

How To Make peach and almond galette

Test Kitchen Tips

The directions include blanching the peaches one at a time. Depending on the size of your pot, you can do more than one at a time. We did all three at once.

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place parchment paper over a cookie sheet or a sheet with an edge.

Step 2

Bring two quarts of water to a boil. Prepare an ice bath. One at a time, with a slotted spoon, place a peach in the boiling water for about 45 seconds.
Step 3

Remove and immediately place into the bath. With your fingers, gently remove the skin from the peaches. Repeat with the other 2 peaches. Gently dry peaches with a paper towel.
Step 4

Slice peaches into 1/4 inch pieces and place in a bowl.
Step 5

Mix together flour and 4 Tbsp sugar. Sprinkle over peaches. Add almond extract and vanilla extract. Mix gently.
Step 6

Unroll the pie crust and gently stretch or roll the crust from the center out to about a 12-inch round size.
Step 7

Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange peaches on the crust by overlapping, forming about an 8-inch circle.
Step 8

Randomly dot butter on top.
Step 9

Carefully fold the edges of the crust around the filling.
Step 10

Whisk egg white with a fork and, using a pastry brush, apply to the outside of the crust.
Step 11

Sprinkle the remaining sugar on the crust.
Step 12

Then sprinkle the sliced almonds.
Step 13

Bake in the center of the oven for about 25 minutes.
Step 14

Cool on the baking sheet.
Step 15

It was great with a little vanilla ice cream.
