Ingredients

Scale
  • Pastry
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups cold salted butter
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
  • ½ cup ice-cold water
  • Filling
  • 3 pounds thinly sliced peaches or nectarines
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Small pinch of salt
  • To Assemble
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar
  • Maple-Candied Pistachios
  • ⅔ cup whole roasted salted pistachios
  • 6 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt
  • To Serve
  • Whipped cream, thick cream, or vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Make the pastry by whisking flour, sugar, and salt together. Grate in cold butter, toss to coat, then add vinegar-water mixture gradually until dough just holds together. Fold a few times, wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
  2. For the filling, combine sliced peaches, vanilla, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Toss gently and let sit for 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll dough into a 16-inch circle and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Arrange peach filling in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over, pleating as you go.
  5. Brush crust with maple syrup and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool for 30 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare maple-candied pistachios by simmering nuts with maple syrup until glossy. Spread on parchment to cool.
  8. Serve galette warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream, topped with maple-candied pistachios.
