A rustic, flaky nectarine galette paired with creamy vanilla ice cream, perfect for a simple yet special summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (150 grams) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for dough)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
  • 4 medium fresh nectarines, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar or coarse sugar (for topping)
  • Creamy vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together sifted flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter and blend with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter. Slowly add ice water, mixing gently until dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Filling: Thinly slice nectarines. Toss with sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, flour, and vanilla extract (optional). Set aside to macerate.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour work surface and rolling pin. Roll chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Assemble the Galette: Pile nectarine filling in center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over fruit, pleating as needed. Brush edges with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  5. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake galette on middle rack for 40-45 minutes, rotating halfway through. Crust should be golden and fruit bubbly. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Cool on wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or room temperature with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Keep butter and water cold for flaky crust. Imperfect edges add rustic charm. Use flour in filling to prevent sogginess. Let galette cool before slicing to set filling. Variations include using peaches or gluten-free flour blends. For dairy-free, use coconut milk-based ice cream.
