How to make Peach Galette
There are just a few simple steps to make this easy recipe for a Peach Galette. A short cut I like to take is to use a store bought pie crust, it just cuts down on the prep time, making pie time come a whole lot faster. No special pans are needed as this is baked right onto a baking sheet.
Start by peeling and slicing about 3 medium sized yellow peaches, you will want about 2 1/2 to 3 cups of yellow peaches. Slice the peaches thinly so they will cook and become softened in the time it will take to bake the crust.
Toss the peaches with the sugars, cinnamon, salt and cornstarch. Place the pie crust onto a parchment lined baking sheet and pile the peaches into the center of the crust, leaving about 1 1/2 inches from the edges. Carefully fold the edge towards the center of the pie and give it a little crease on the side of the last fold you just brought up. Pinch these together as you go.
Brush the pie crust with the egg, milk mixture and bake for 15 minutes, if needed place strips of foil around the edges of the pie if you feel they are getting too crisp. Bake for an addition 10-15 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
How to keep the crust from going soggy on a galette?
Fresh peaches can release a lot of extra juices when they are cooked. The best way that I have found to avoid extra juices is to get the peaches onto the crust and into the oven as quickly as possible. Leave any extra juices that are in the mixing bowl in the bottom, you won’t need that extra moisture.
