A rustic yet elegant free-form tart featuring tender, juicy peaches infused with the delicate floral notes of lavender and the sweet depth of honey. The buttery, flaky pastry crust provides a perfect counterpoint to the sweet, slightly tart fruit filling.

Instructions

Prepare the Galette

  1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with honey, dried lavender, lemon juice, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. 3Unroll the pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the peach mixture in a mound in the center of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border.
  4. 4Fold the border of the pie crust up and over the edges of the peach filling, pleating as needed to create a rustic look.
  5. 5Brush the folded crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

Bake and Serve

  1. 1Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil.
  2. 2Let the galette cool on the baking sheet for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set.
  3. 3Serve warm or at room temperature. Drizzle with a little extra honey if desired, and serve with a dollop of crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream.

Tips

  • Ensure your peaches are ripe but still firm to prevent them from becoming too mushy during baking.
  • A galette is best served warm. Allow it to rest slightly after baking so the juices thicken and the crust stays crisp.
