This is a super easy dessert. Galette is a free-form pie without a top crust.
You just roll the dough, put the sliced peaches on top, fold the edges and sprinkle the streusel and bake!
Easy peasy. No slicing of fruits though I don’t mind the extra work of peeling and slicing fresh peaches if I have some.
I like to use the sliced peaches in the bottle than the canned ones, but both are perfect for quick no-fuss galette.
Make the dough by combining flour, sugar, salt in a bowl then work the pieces of butter in until it resembles coarse crumbs
Lay dough on a piece of parchment paper, cover with plastic wrap and roll into a 12-inch circle
Arrange peach slices on top, leaving 1-2 inches border
Fold the edges in..
…then sprinkle streusel on top.
Bake for 35-40 minutes on preheated oven
Serve with a scoop of ice cream..or not. Enjoy with a cup of coffee.
