Ingredients for Your Homemade Blueberry Peach Frangipane Galette Recipe
For the Crust
Alright, let’s gather our troops for the crust! You’ll need 1 and 1/2 cups (188g) of all-purpose flour (plus a little extra for dusting – trust me!), 2 Tablespoons (25g) of granulated sugar, and a 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Oh, and the *most* important part: 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) of *cold*, cubed unsalted butter. And don’t forget 1/4 cup (60ml) of ice cold water! For the egg wash, grab 1 large egg and beat it with 1 Tablespoon (15ml) of milk. Sliced almonds and coarse sugar are totally optional, but they add a nice touch!
For the Frangipane Filling
Now, onto the good stuff! For the frangipane, you’re gonna need 2 Tablespoons (28g) of unsalted butter, softened (so important!). Then, 1 large egg, at room temperature. Next up, 1/2 cup (50g) of almond flour or almond meal – either works! And 1/4 cup (50g) of granulated sugar, of course. Finally, a 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract and a 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Mmm, smells good already, right?
For the Fruit Filling
And last but not least, the stars of the show! You’ll want about 3 heaping cups of peach slices (that’s around 2–3 medium peaches, depending on their size). Then, 1 cup (140g) of juicy blueberries. Gotta have 1 Tablespoon of granulated sugar to sweeten things up and 1 Tablespoon of almond flour, almond meal, or even all-purpose flour to help soak up some of the juices. We don’t want a soggy galette, do we?
How to Make Homemade Blueberry Peach Frangipane Galette Recipe: Step-by-Step Instructions
Preparing the Dough
Okay, first things first: the dough! Grab a medium bowl and whisk together your flour, sugar, and salt. Now, for the fun part – cutting in the butter! You can use a pastry blender or even just your fingers (if you’re feeling brave!). You want it to look like coarse, pea-sized crumbs. Then, add the ice water and stir until everything’s moistened. Don’t overmix!
Next, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently form it into a ball. Flatten it into a disk, wrap it up tight, and pop it in the fridge. It needs to chill for at least an hour, but you can even leave it for up to 3 days! Seriously, chilling is key here – it makes the dough so much easier to work with later.
Making the Frangipane
While the dough’s chilling, let’s whip up that amazing frangipane! In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter, egg (make sure it’s at room temp!), almond flour, sugar, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Beat it all together on medium-high speed until it’s creamy and smooth. Honestly, spreading this stuff is kind of like making a fancy hummus wrap… in the best way possible! Cover it and stick it in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the galette.
Preparing the Fruit Filling
Now for the star ingredient: the fruit! In another bowl, gently toss together your peach slices, blueberries, sugar, and almond flour (or whatever flour you’re using). You just want everything to be lightly coated. This helps to absorb some of the juices and keeps the crust from getting soggy. Cover the bowl and refrigerate it until you’re ready to assemble. Easy peasy!
Assembling and Baking the Galette
Alright, preheat your oven to 425°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is important – trust me, you don’t want your galette sticking! Roll out your chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect; rustic is the name of the game here! Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Evenly spread the frangipane over the center of the dough, leaving a 3-inch border. Now, spoon or arrange the peaches and blueberries on top of the frangipane. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling, overlapping as needed. Press lightly to seal everything. Brush the crust with your egg wash and sprinkle with sliced almonds and coarse sugar, if you’re feeling fancy. Now, here’s a pro tip: refrigerate the *assembled* galette for at least 20 minutes (or up to 8 hours!). This helps prevent any leakage. Bake until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown, about 35-38 minutes. Let it cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Tips for the Best Homemade Blueberry Peach Frangipane Galette Recipe
Chilling is Key
Seriously, don’t skip this step! Chilling the dough *before* you roll it out makes it so much easier to handle. And chilling the assembled galette before baking? That’s your secret weapon against a leaky, misshapen mess. Trust me, I’ve learned this the hard way!
Don’t Overfill
It’s tempting to pile on all those delicious peaches and blueberries, right? But resist! Too much filling, and you’ll end up with a soggy crust and fruit juice everywhere. A little restraint goes a long way. You can always serve extra fruit on the side!
Use Ripe Fruit
Okay, this one’s a no-brainer, but it’s worth mentioning. Ripe, juicy peaches and plump blueberries are going to give you the *best* flavor. Underripe fruit will be bland, and overripe fruit will be mushy. Aim for that sweet spot!
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions for Your Homemade Blueberry Peach Frangipane Galette Recipe
Almond Flour Alternatives
So, what if you don’t have almond flour on hand? Don’t sweat it! You can totally use all-purpose flour in its place for the frangipane. The flavor will be a little different, but it’ll still be delicious. Or, if you have any other kind of nut flour (like hazelnut!), go wild and experiment!
Fruit Variations
Okay, blueberries and peaches are amazing, but feel free to get creative! Nectarines would be fantastic in this Homemade Blueberry Peach Frangipane Galette Recipe, or even plums! Just make sure whatever fruit you use is ripe and juicy. A mix of berries is always a good idea, too. Have fun with it!
Frequently Asked Questions About Homemade Blueberry Peach Frangipane Galette Recipe
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! In fact, I usually do. You can make the dough for this Homemade Blueberry Peach Frangipane Galette Recipe up to 3 days in advance. Just keep it wrapped tightly in the fridge, and you’re good to go. It’s a total time-saver!
Can I freeze the galette?
Yep! If you want to get *really* ahead, you can freeze the unbaked galette. Assemble it completely, then wrap it well and freeze. When you’re ready to bake, just pop it straight into the oven (you might need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time). How cool is that?
How do I prevent the crust from burning?
Ah, the dreaded burnt crust! Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us. If you notice the crust getting too dark during baking, just tent it loosely with foil. That’ll protect it from the heat and let the filling finish cooking perfectly. Crisis averted!
Serving Suggestions for Your Homemade Blueberry Peach Frangipane Galette Recipe
Vanilla Ice Cream
Okay, hear me out: warm galette, cold vanilla ice cream. Is there a better combo? I don’t think so! Seriously, a scoop of good-quality vanilla ice cream melting all over that warm, fruity filling? *Chef’s kiss* It’s perfection!
Whipped Cream
If you’re not an ice cream person (gasp!), then whipped cream is your best friend. Freshly whipped, lightly sweetened cream is the perfect complement to the Homemade Blueberry Peach Frangipane Galette Recipe. It’s light, airy, and adds just the right amount of extra sweetness. Yum!

Want to bring that galette back to its former glory? You’ve got a couple of options. For the best results, reheat it in a warm oven (around 350°F or 175°C) for a few minutes.
