Ingredients
Method
To prepare the peaches
- In a large bowl, toss the peach slices with the brandy, corn starch, cinnamon, and sugar set aside
- To make the frangipane
- Before working on the frangipane, begin work on the galette pastry. See below
- Add all the ingredients together into the food processor and process until it forms a fluffy paste. I kept mine a little nutty and crunchy, but that’s just personal preference
- To make the galette
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
- In a food processor, add the flour, sugar, salt, and butter, and pulse for 5 seconds to blend it
- Slowly add the water, little by little, and pulse until the pastry starts to come together. When you touch it, you should be able to press and mold it
- Transfer it to your work surface and roll it into a ball and flatten it into a disc. Plastic wrap it and refrigerate it until it is chilled. While the dough is chilling, prepare the frangipane
- Once chilled, sprinkle some flour on your work surface and roll out the dough to a 14 inch oval. Make sure you work quickly so that the dough remains cool

- Spread and smooth out the frangipane across the surface of the dough, leaving a little more than an inch for the crust
- Top with the fruit in a design you see fit.
- Fold the crust part of the dough up and over sort of forming a tucked wall. Mix the yolks and the milk or heavy cream to make an egg wash. Using a brush, spread the egg wash across the outside and sprinkle some raw sugar across the edges.
- Add in the middle rack of the oven and bake for about an hour or until the pastry has browned and crisp
- Let cool before serving. Eat as is or top with some ice cream or whipped cream
