Recipe Published: July 28, 2021 | Updated: Aug 7, 2022

Written by: Jasma

I’ve never been a big fan of pies. However, it wasn’t until I came across the world of galettes did I realize I simply wasn’t a fan of the process of making pies. A galette is a free-form pie with all the components of a perfect summer dessert but without the hassle of blind baking and always wondering if you’ll end up with a soggy bottom.

Whip up a flaky pie crust, rich pistachio frangipane and some summer fruits, and you’ve turned any ripe peaches you got laying around into the most scrumptious treat!

Assemble

11. On a flour dusted surface, roll out the dough into a circle and slide the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper or reusable baking paper.

12. Spread the pistachio frangipane on the center of the dough, leaving some space from the rim. 

13. Arrange the peach slices on top of the frangipane. 

14. Fold up the edges of the dough to close up the galette.

15. Slide the parchment paper onto a baking tray and chill the galette in the freezer for about 15 minutes.

16. Preheat your oven to 400°F/200°C in the meantime and combine the leftover egg from the frangipane filling with some milk to form egg wash. 

17. Once the galette is slightly hardened, brush the egg wash over the dough.

18. Bake the galette in the preheated oven at 400°F/200°C for 25-30 mins until the crust is golden brown. 

19. Top with fresh raspberries and crushed pistachios. Serve!
