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.

Ingredients
    Galette Dough Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 tbsp Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener Sugar (Can use regular sugar)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 5-6 tbsp Cold Water
    • Peach Filling Ingredients
  • 3 Peaches, sliced
  • 1/4 cup Swerve Brown Sugar Replacement (Can use regular brown sugar)
  • 1 tbsp Corn Starch
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
  • 1/2 tbsp Lemon Zest
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Egg Wash: 1 egg mixed with 1 Tbsp Water
  • Honey Glaze: ½ Tbsp Honey mixed with ½ Tbsp water
Instructions
  1. Galette Dough Instructions
    1. Add the flour, sugar, basil, and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine.
    2. Add in the cubed cold butter and blend on low until the butter is blended and the size of small peas.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
  2. Peach Filling Instructions
    1. When there is about 20 minutes left of the dough chilling, prepare the peach filling.
    2. 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.
  3. Assembly Instructions
    1. Preheat oven to 425*F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle, and transfer to the parchment paper.
    3. Add the peach filling to the middle of the dough, leaving a 2-inch boarder.
    4. Gently fold over the dough towards the center, overlapping as you go around.
    5. Brush the dough edges with the egg wash and sprinkle sugar on top, if desired.
    6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the crust is a golden-brown color.
    7. 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.
