Shortbread pie with peaches

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the dough.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour with a pinch of salt into the bowl of a food processor, add powdered sugar and chopped cold butter. Using quick movements, grind the mixture into crumbs.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add the yolk to the butter crumbs and mix.

4. STEP 4

   

   If the mixture turns out dry, add cold water. Add water little by little, literally 1 teaspoon at a time. As a result, we should end up with wet butter crumbs that can be collected into a single lump.

5. STEP 5

   

   We collect the dough, but do not knead it. Place the finished dough in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. To cool the dough faster, knead it with your hand into a flat cake 1-2 cm thick and place it in the refrigerator.

6. STEP 6

   

   While the dough is chilling, let's make the filling. Grind the nuts into fine crumbs (I already had chopped nuts in stock).

7. STEP 7

   

   Remove the pit from the nectarine and cut it into thin slices. If the nectarine is not sweet enough, you can mix the slices with a small amount of sugar (I didn’t do this, the sweetness of the fruit itself was enough for me).

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the dough on a sheet of baking paper.

9. STEP 9

   

   Roll out the dough into a layer about 3 mm thick. Try to roll the edges a little thinner than the middle. Sprinkle the dough with ground nuts, not reaching the edge 3-4 cm.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place nectarine slices on top of the nuts.

11. STEP 11

    

    Fold the free edges of the dough over the top to form a pie. Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 180 C for 25 minutes. The galette should be well browned.

12. STEP 12

    

    Let the pie cool slightly, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve. Bon appetit!

I really love simple and accessible recipes, with ingredients that are always in the refrigerator. I baked this recipe with peach, but I think you can use almost any fruit - apple, plum, and pear. I also had different nuts - almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts, it turned out very tasty. The costs are minimal both in time and in products, the recipe is accessible even to those who are not familiar with baking, thanks to the author for the delicious and easy pie!

Milena, thank you! Glad it worked out for you! You noted correctly, almost any fruit and even berries are suitable as a filling, you just need to add starch so that the juice sets

I wonder if you can make something so delicious in a slow cooker... I'll have to try it :)
