My mom used to make the best apple crisp growing up and it was my absolute favourite post-dinner treat. Since peaches are in season (in Ontario), I decided to make a peach crisp instead, and it did not disappoint. Take your girl up to the north, yeh, for those Canadian peaches! I hope you are a Justin Bieber fan, otherwise this post will make absolutely zero sense to you. And also, we cannot be friends if you aren’t (joking) (not really).

As the name suggests all you need are FIVE simple ingredients:

• Peaches
• Brown sugar
• Flour
• Lemon juice
• Butter

The simplicity of this recipe is insane, making it the easiest, most delicious dessert on the fly. It’s also perfect for a summer BBQ or outdoor gathering. Let’s make some peach crisp!

5-Ingredient Peach Crisp

Serving size: 5-6 people

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder (optional)
• 6 tbsp cold butter, cubed
• 4 large peaches (approximately 6 cups), washed and cut into 1/2-inch wide slices
• 1.5 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, salt and cinnamon (if using). Use your hands or a pastry cutter to incorporate the cubed butter until it resembles large crumbs. Place the bowl in the freezer while you prepare the peaches.
3. Place peaches into an 8-inch baking dish or cast iron pan. Pour the lemon juice over top and use your hands to toss the peaches around.
4. Top the peaches with the crumble, making sure it is evenly spread across the top.
5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top begins to turn golden brown and crispy.

Serve warm and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

I’m sadly shedding a tear over here as stone fruit season is slipping away. It feels like peaches have only been around for a few weeks, so I’m not sorry that I am bombarding you with a million recipes. And, you need to make this one NOW, before the peaches are gone and it’s too late – get on it!

WHAT IS A GLUTEN FREE STONE FRUIT GALETTE?

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, first of all thank you, I love you, secondly, you know I do a lot of gluten-free stuff and this galette is no exception. Sometimes people think things that are gluten-free don’t taste as good as the glutinous stuff, but I’m here to tell them they’re wrong – WRONG! This crust is still flaky and delicious. So, if taste isn’t compromised, and you had to choose between a gluten-free dessert or a wheat flour dessert…Which one are you going for? I thought so.

Let’s start by talking about stone fruit. If you are unsure, stone fruit is any fruit with a stone in it. We’re talkin’ peaches, nectarines, plums, cherries, apricots, etc. – you can literally use any of those for this galette. My only recommendation is, if you choose to use apricots, you should add a tablespoon or two of sugar to the fruit as fresh apricots can be very tart. I chose to use peaches, nectarines and plums as those fruits are currently at their peak where I live.

THE PASTRY DOUGH

I think making pastry intimidates people. It intimidates me sometimes, which is why I am always stunned when it turns out so well. Despite being gluten-free, this crust is still everything a great crust should be – flaky, buttery, light, golden. It also rolls out so easily. It’s worth a shot, gluten-free or not – did you catch the rhyme?

WHY SHOULD YOU MAKE THIS GLUTEN FREE STONE FRUIT GALETTE?

If you aren’t convinced to make this yet, I have one further piece of information that may help – TIME. It takes hardly any of it. Seriously, I can understand looking at something like a galette and thinking, “that looks too intense for me,” but this isn’t like that – I promise. The dough takes about 5 minutes to put together, and then it chills in the fridge for 30 minutes. The fruit just needs to be chopped and mixed with a few simple ingredients and also needs to sit for a bit. After that, all you need to do is roll out the dough, place the fruit on top and bake – easy peasy.

THE INGREDIENTS

Like I said, this galette is so easy to make. Moreover, it requires minimal ingredients that come together quickly. Here’s what you need to pick up from your grocery store (like, today!):

For the crust:

• Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour (I prefer Bob’s Red Mill)
• Salt
• Butter

For the Filling:

• Stone fruit of your choice (peaches, plums, nectarines, etc.)
• Cornstarch
• A lemon
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Salt
• An egg (for the egg wash)
• Sliced almonds (to top, optional)

GLUTEN FREE STONE FRUIT GALETTE

Serving size: 8-10

Prep time: 15 minutes

Chill time: 30 minutes

Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the crust:

• 1 1/4 cup gluten-free flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• ice-cold water

For the filling:

• 4 cups of stone fruit (approximately 5-6 medium-sized fruits, I used 2 peaches, 1 nectarine and 2 plums)
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of nutmeg
• pinch of salt

• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tbsp slivered almonds (optional)

Instructions

For the crust:

1. Add the flour and salt to a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Toss in the cold cubed butter and pulse again until dough resembles small peas. Add the vinegar and one tablespoon of ice-cold water and pulse. If needed, add more water, half tablespoon at a time until larger pieces of dough come together – this usually takes me 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of water to achieve. Be careful not to add too much water or dough will be too sticky.
2. Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and use your hands to form dough into a disc. Wrap and place in fridge to chill for 30 minutes.

For the filling:

1. Add all of the filling ingredients to a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside while the dough finishes chilling.

Assembling:

1. Firstly, make sure you flour your work surface well. Place the dough on floured surface and sprinkle more flour on top of the dough, as well as on your rolling pin. Roll out dough to about 1/4-inch thick. Carefully transfer it to a parchment lined baking sheet and arrange the stone fruit slices on top, in a circular formation, leaving a one-inch border all the way around. Fold the edges over the fruit and place the baking sheet back into the fridge, setting the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to preheat.
2. When the oven is ready, remove the galette from the fridge and brush the beaten egg over the exposed pastry edges and top with a few sliced almonds, if desired. Bake the galette for 25-35 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Be sure to let it cool for 5 minutes before serving, as the fruit can be very hot.

NOTES

This galette is best when eaten immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

This recipe is less-sweet, so add a tablespoon or two of sugar to the fruit when combining with the other ingredients if you would like a sweeter dessert.

Try with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream!
