Ingredients
fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups (washed)
medium peaches
4 (peeled and sliced)
sugar
1/2 cup (divided)
all purpose flour
3 tablespoons (for coating fruit)
fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons (squeezed)
ready to roll refrigerated pie crust
1 (at room temperature)
egg white
1 (for egg wash)
milk
2 teaspoons (for egg wash)
coarse sugar
to taste (for sprinkling)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
On a sheet of parchment paper placed on a baking sheet, gently roll out the pie crust to about 1/4-inch thickness, allowing for easy transfer of the galette after assembly.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh blueberries and sliced peaches. Toss them with 3 tablespoons of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until the fruit is well-coated.
4
Spoon the fruit mixture into the center of the rolled-out pie crust, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges free of filling.
5
Fold the edges of the crust up and over the fruit, creating folds that will hold the filling in while still allowing some fruit to peek through. Don't worry about making it perfect— the rustic look is part of the charm!
6
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and milk. Brush this mixture over the exposed crust edges to give them a beautiful golden glaze.
7
Sprinkle coarse sugar generously over the crust to enhance sweetness and crunch.
8
Bake the galette in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
9
Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
