Mustard Free Classic Peach Galette
Few desserts capture the warmth of summer quite like a free-form fruit tart pulled fresh from the oven, golden and fragrant with cinnamon and ripe peaches. The buttery, flaky crust comes together with just flour, cold butter, and a splash of ice water ā no specialty ingredients, no condiments, nothing that could sneak in an unwanted allergen. A thin layer of almond flour on the base soaks up the peachy juices as it bakes, keeping the crust crisp rather than soggy, which is a genuinely clever trick worth stealing. The filling is simply sliced peaches tossed with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon ā clean, honest ingredients that let the fruit do the talking. Folding the rough dough edges up into rustic pleats gives it that effortlessly beautiful, straight-from-a-French-farmhouse look without requiring any real pastry skill. A brush of egg wash and a scatter of coarse turbinado sugar over the crust bakes into a shatteringly crisp, amber-colored rim that is genuinely hard to stop picking at. Let it cool just long enough for the juices to set, then slice and serve ā ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting alongside.

Drizzle in 3 tbsp of ice water and stir with a fork until the dough just begins to come together; add the remaining 1 tbsp water only if the dough still looks dry and crumbly. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, press it into a flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
