Notes
Tips and Techniques
- You can use a homemade pie crust if you prefer the flavor and a more rustic look. Using a store bought crust does make the recipe quicker and easier if time and ease is a concern.
- Ensure that your peaches are sliced thin. This will make make layering them easier.
- Brushing an egg wash over the pie crust will give a deeper golden color and shine. You can make an egg wash by whisking a whole egg. You can also add a tablespoon of water or heavy cream, if preferred.
- Galettes are best eaten the day they are prepared. Store at room temperature. If keeping past 1 day, tightly cover and store in the refrigerator.
