Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/3 cup ice water
- 6-8 ripe peaches, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces and mix with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rough circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
- Arrange the peach mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, slightly overlapping as you go.
- Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake the galette for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are tender.
- Let the galette cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
