Equipment
- Oven
- Food Processor
- Baking Sheet
- Chef's Knife
Ingredients
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
- 2 cups sliced peaches
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder or cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup peach jam
- 2-4 tablespoons honey
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 tablespoons candied ginger chunks
- 1/2 cup coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to catch any drips from the galette.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sliced peaches, arrowroot powder, ground ginger, and vanilla extract. Toss these together gently to ensure the peaches are well coated. Then, add the peach jam and honey, and toss again. You want to make sure every slice of peach is glistening with sweetness!
- Take one sheet of thawed puff pastry and roll it out slightly to stretch it. Carefully transfer it to the prepared baking sheet, making sure it fits comfortably.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to help seal in the filling. Then, cut the second sheet into four strips, about half an inch wide, and press them around the edges of the larger pastry sheet.
- Now comes the fun part! Working within the borders you’ve created, arrange the peach mixture on top. Gently wiggle the pieces under the edges of the pastry, ensuring that the filling is nicely nestled inside.
- Using a fork, crimp the edges to seal them shut and prevent any filling from leaking out during baking. Brush the edges with more beaten egg for that golden finish.
- In a food processor, pulse the candied ginger chunks until they’re in small pieces. Combine these with the coarse sugar and give it a quick pulse. Sprinkle this ginger sugar over the edges of the pastry for an extra touch of flavor.
- Place the galette in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Keep an eye on it; the pastry should turn a lovely golden brown, and it’s okay if the edges get a little darker.
- Once baked, let it cool slightly. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy every bite of this Easy Ginger Peach Galette!
