- 2 cups almond flour - 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or unsalted butter) - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 2 tablespoons maple syrup - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract - 4 medium ripe peaches, sliced thinly - 2 tablespoons brown sugar - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1 tablespoon cornstarch - 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash) - Additional almond flakes for topping (optional) Using high-quality ingredients makes a big difference in your galette. Choose fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor. Look for peaches that yield slightly when you press them. They should smell sweet and fragrant. For the almond flour, a finely ground type will give you a smoother crust. If you're using coconut oil, make sure it is virgin and unrefined to keep that lovely coconut taste. You can easily swap ingredients based on what you have. If you don’t have almond flour, use all-purpose flour or a gluten-free blend. Unsalted butter works well instead of coconut oil. For a vegan option, replace the egg wash with almond milk or a mix of water and cornstarch. If peaches are out of season, try using fresh plums or apples. Adjust the sugar depending on the sweetness of the fruit. For the full recipe, you can refer to the section above. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even baking. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step helps the galette not stick. It also makes cleaning easy. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of almond flour with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix these dry ingredients well. Next, pour in 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture forms a dough. It should feel moist but not sticky. Slice 4 medium ripe peaches thinly. In another bowl, toss the peach slices with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. This mix enhances the flavor and helps absorb juice from the peaches. Place the rolled-out crust on the lined baking sheet. Spoon the peach filling into the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Gently fold the edges of the crust over the peaches, creating pleats. This gives it a rustic look while holding the filling inside. Brush the crust with a beaten egg for a golden finish. If desired, sprinkle almond flakes on top for crunch. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden and juices bubble. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. For extra delight, add vanilla ice cream on top. For the full recipe, refer to the earlier sections. Enjoy your delicious peach galette! When choosing peaches, look for ripe, fragrant fruit. They should feel slightly soft when you gently press them. Color matters too. You want a deep, golden hue. Avoid peaches with bruises or green spots. Use freestone peaches for easy slicing. Their flesh separates easily from the pit, making your prep simple. For a tasty almond crust, mix almond flour and salt well before adding other ingredients. Use melted coconut oil or unsalted butter to keep the dough moist. Don't overmix the dough. You want it to come together without being tough. Roll it out gently between parchment sheets. This helps you avoid sticking and keeps the dough tender. Serve your peach galette warm for the best taste. It pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream. The creaminess complements the sweet peaches. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt. For a twist, drizzle honey on top for extra flavor. A cup of herbal tea or coffee makes a nice drink choice. To make your galette visually appealing, dust it lightly with powdered sugar before serving. Fresh mint leaves add a pop of color. Arrange your slices neatly on a platter. Consider using a rustic wooden board for a charming touch. These details make your dish look as good as it tastes. Enjoy the full recipe for more tips! {{image_4}} You can change the fruit in this galette to fit your taste. Try using ripe nectarines for a similar sweetness. Plums add a tart touch that pairs well with the almond crust. Apples are a classic choice and offer a nice crunch. Pears can bring a soft, juicy texture. If you want something unique, use berries like blueberries or raspberries. Each fruit brings its own flavor and makes this galette special. While almond flour is my go-to, you can use other nut flours for your crust. Hazelnut flour provides a rich, earthy flavor. Walnut flour adds a lovely depth and works well with peaches. If you need a nut-free option, try oat flour. It gives the crust a nice texture, though it may taste different. Mix and match these flours to discover your favorite combination. For sweetening, maple syrup is great, but honey works too. If you want less sugar, consider using agave nectar. You can also reduce the sugar in the filling if your fruit is very sweet. To create a savory twist, try adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the filling. A sprinkle of cheese, like goat cheese, can add a creamy layer. These options let you explore new flavors while keeping the essence of the galette. For the full recipe, check out the link provided earlier. To keep your peach galette fresh, let it cool completely. Wrap it in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Store it in the fridge for up to three days. If you want to keep it longer, freezing is a great option. To reheat your galette, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the galette on a baking sheet. Heat it for about 10-15 minutes. This will help keep the crust crispy and the peaches warm. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the crust soggy. If you want to freeze your galette, wrap it well in plastic wrap and foil. Make sure it’s airtight. You can freeze it for up to two months. When you're ready to enjoy it, thaw it in the fridge overnight. Then, reheat it in the oven for the best taste. Remember, the key to a great peach galette is in the storage! You can tell the galette is done when the crust turns golden brown. Look for bubbling peach juices near the center. This shows the filling is cooked well. A good rule is to bake for 30-35 minutes. Keep an eye on it, as ovens vary. Yes, you can make the crust ahead! Prepare the almond dough and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Store it in the fridge for up to two days. When you're ready, just roll it out and fill it. This saves time on busy days. Peach galette pairs well with many items. Try it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a sweet treat. A dollop of whipped cream adds a light touch. You can also serve it with fresh berries for added flavor. Prevent a soggy bottom crust by using cornstarch in the filling.

Ingredients
  

2 cups almond flour

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or unsalted butter)

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 medium ripe peaches, sliced thinly

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Additional almond flakes for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.

    Make the Almond Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and salt thoroughly. Pour in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix the ingredients together until a cohesive dough forms, ensuring all dry ingredients are moistened.

      Shape the Crust: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll it out into a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick. Carefully transfer the rolled dough onto the lined baking sheet.

        Prepare the Filling: In a separate mixing bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Ensure that the peach slices are evenly coated to enhance flavor and prevent excess moisture.

          Assemble the Galette: Spoon the peach filling into the center of the rolled-out crust, leaving a border of about 2 inches around the edge. Gently fold the edges of the crust up and over the peaches, creating pleats as you go to form a lovely rustic presentation.

            Egg Wash and Bake: Brush the exposed crust with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden sheen once baked. If you like, sprinkle a handful of almond flakes over the crust for added crunch and visual appeal. Place the galette in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling.

              Cool and Serve: After baking, allow the galette to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. For an indulgent touch, pair each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
