Instructions
 

Prepare the Pastry:

    - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to break it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

      - Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overwork the dough. Shape it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

        Make the Filling:

          - In another bowl, combine the sliced peaches, raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cinnamon (if using). Stir gently to combine and set aside for about 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

            Roll Out the Dough:

              - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

                Assemble the Galette:

                  - Spoon the peach and raspberry filling into the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating it as you go to create a rustic edge.

                    Add Egg Wash and Sugar:

                      - Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the crust to give it a beautiful shine. Sprinkle the coarse sugar over the crust for added sweetness and crunch.

                        Bake:

                          - Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

                            Cool and Serve:

                              - Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
