Peach & Basil Galette
Description
I like to think of galettes as a ‘rustic pie’. It has a similar dough, and a fruit filling, but just appears more rustic, and it is also quicker and arguably easier to make! What I love most about this galette, is that there are simple and clean ingredients involved. Just looking at the recipe, it may seem like there is a lot of ingredients and steps, but I can promise you that it is a heck of a lot easier than you may think. It all comes together in less than 2 hours, and you can serve it warm or room temperature, whichever you prefer. Throw a scoop of ice cream on there, and you have yourself a little slice of rustic pie.

Galette Dough Instructions
- Add the flour, sugar, basil, and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine.
- Add in the cubed cold butter and blend on low until the butter is blended and the size of small peas.
- Slowly add in the cold water a couple of tablespoons at a time, while the food processor is running on low. The dough may appear slightly crumbly but should easily form together to the touch.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and form it into a disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for one hour.
-
Peach Filling Instructions
- When there is about 20 minutes left of the dough chilling, prepare the peach filling.
- In a mixing bowl add the sliced peaches, Swerve brown sugar replacement, cornstarch, basil, lemon zest and juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix lightly until combined.

Assembly Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425*F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle, and transfer to the parchment paper.
- Add the peach filling to the middle of the dough, leaving a 2-inch boarder.
- Gently fold over the dough towards the center, overlapping as you go around.
- Brush the dough edges with the egg wash and sprinkle sugar on top, if desired.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the crust is a golden-brown color.
- Remove from the oven and brush the exposed peach filling with the honey glaze. Garnish with extra basil and serve with ice cream, if desired.
Notes
- A good tip to make sure you have really cold water for the dough, is to get a cup of ice water and take the 5-6 tablespoons from that cup.
