Peach Galette

Instructions

• 1To make the dough, carefully assemble the processor with the grey spindle and green S-blade in the bowl. Add the flour, sugar and salt and process to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Remove the small food pusher and pulse, while adding the iced water, until the dough just comes together. Carefully remove the blade, use your hand to bring the dough together in the bowl.
• 2Turn the dough out onto the bench top and flatten into an approximate 6-inch disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until well chilled. This prevents the dough from shrinking during cooking and makes a more tender crust. Dough can be made up to 2 days ahead, store in the refrigerator.
• 3To make the frangipane, carefully assemble the processor with the grey spindle and green S-blade in the bowl. Add the almonds and process until the almonds resemble fine crumbs. Add the sugar and process to combine. Add the butter and process. Add the egg and process again. Finally add the flour, salt and vanilla and process to combine. Scraping down the side of the bowl occasionally. Remove and set aside.
• 4To prepare the peaches, assemble the processor with the grey spindle and orange adjustable slicer set on 4 in the bowl and slice the peaches. Transfer to a large bowl. Combine the cornflour and white sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the peaches and gently toss to coat.
• 5Roll the dough on a lightly floured bench top into a 13-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a baking paper-lined pan.
• 6Evenly spread the frangipane over the dough, leaving a 1¼-inch border. Arrange the peach slices, slightly overlapping over the frangipane. Fold the edge of the dough over the peaches to partially cover. Crimp to seal the edge. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up the dough.
