Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, pitted and thinly sliced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

5 tablespoons ice-cold water

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ cup almond or oat milk (for brushing)

Fresh basil or mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and sea salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs.

    Form the Dough: Gradually add the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just begins to come together. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Shape it into a round disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill.

      Marinate the Peaches: In a separate bowl, combine the sliced peaches with the lemon juice, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon. Toss the mixture gently to ensure the peaches are coated evenly. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

        Roll Out the Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch round. Carefully transfer the rolled dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

          Assemble the Galette: Spoon the marinated peach mixture into the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the peaches, creating pleats as needed for a rustic appearance.

            Brush and Bake: Lightly brush the exposed dough with almond or oat milk to achieve a beautiful golden color. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.

              Cool and Chill: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the galette cool to room temperature on the baking sheet. After it has cooled, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to enhance the flavors.

                Serve: When ready to serve, garnish with fresh basil or mint leaves for a bright flavor boost. Slice and present as a refreshing dessert or a delightful addition to your brunch spread!
