Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C and line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the peaches: Slice them into relatively thin pieces and place them in a large bowl. Add ground almonds, brown sugar, and cornstarch, then toss until each slice is coated with the mixture.
4 peaches + 3 tablespoons brown sugar + 2 tablespoons ground almonds + 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Assemble the galette: Unroll the pastry on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the peaches on the pastry, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of pastry around the edges. Fold the pastry edges over the fruit for a rustic look. Brush the folded pastry with milk or cream and sprinkle with brown sugar.
1 sheet of puff pastry + 1 tablespoon milk + 1-2 teaspoons brown sugar
Bake the peach galette in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Rest for 5-10 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream, vanilla sauce, whipped cream, or crème fraiche mixed with a little brown sugar. For the best taste and texture, serve it within 2-4 hours of baking while still fresh and crispy.

Puff pastry: I used a 12-oz (345-g) package of store-bought, ready-rolled puff pastry. A bit more or less is also fine. You can use frozen puff pastry, too - thaw it according to the package instructions. If you have unrolled pastry, use a similar amount and roll it out into a rectangle or a circle.
Peaches: You can also use nectarines or canned peaches (drain and pat them dry with a paper towel). Feel free to make the galette with other fruits or berries as well.
Ground almonds or almond meal, NOT almond flour. You can also use ground hazelnuts.
