Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 15x10 baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place your pie crust dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough until it's about 12 inches in diameter and about ⅛ of an inch thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
In a large bowl, mix together sugar and spices and set aside.
Wash the peaches and remove pits. Slice the peaches and set into the bowl with the sugar mixture. Toss gently until evenly coated.
Arrange your peaches in three or four overlapping circles on your pie crust. Start with the outer circle, about 1.5-2” from the edge of the crust, and work your way to the middle. Drizzle the honey across the tops of the peaches. Fold the edges of the pie crust in, overlapping slightly. Dot the tops of the peaches with the diced butter.
Brush the egg wash over the tops of the pie crust and place the galette into the oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Do you need to peel the peaches?Peaches have a very think skin, so I don’t usually go through the effort of peeling them before using in a galette. If the peels bother you, you can certainly peel them before proceeding with the recipe.
Can I use canned peaches?I don’t recommend canned or frozen peaches in this recipe. The liquid will make the crust soggy.
How do I store peach gallete?I find it’s best to serve the same day. However, store loosely covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
