Ingredients

• 250 g All-purpose flour
• 50 g Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 170 g Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 60 ml Ice water
• 400 g Fruit of choice (e.g., peaches, berries, apples, or plums), sliced
• 50 g Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tbsp Heavy cream (optional, for brushing)
• 2 tbsp Turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork or your hands until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough chills, prepare the fruit filling. In a large bowl, toss the sliced fruit with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Arrange the fruit filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-3 inch (5-7 cm) border around the edges.

Step 8

Fold the edges of the dough up and over the fruit, pleating as needed to seal the edges and form a rustic shape. The center of the tart should remain uncovered.

Step 9

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream (optional) to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the exposed dough edges.

Step 10

Sprinkle the dough with turbinado sugar for added crunch and sweetness.

Step 11

Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

Step 12

Allow the galette to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
