Print Recipe

A rustic and easy-to-make dessert featuring a flaky crust and juicy nectarines, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6–8 nectarines, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Add cubed butter and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Chill the Dough: Add 4-5 tablespoons of cold water until combined, shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the Oven: While the dough chills, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Prepare the Nectarines: Toss sliced nectarines with cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a tablespoon of sugar.
  5. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out dough to a rough circle, about 12 inches in diameter.
  6. Assemble the Galette: Arrange nectarines in the center, folding the edges of the dough over, leaving some nectarines exposed.
  7. Brush and Sprinkle: Whisk the egg, brush the crust, and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  8. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden and nectarines are bubbly.
  9. Cool Down: Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, and garnish with fresh mint.
