Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 8

Ingredients

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
6 cups coarsely grated peeled Golden Delicious apples (about 3 pounds)
3 tablespoons honey
1 egg, beaten to blend (for glaze)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add sugar; stir until mixture turns deep golden, about 8 minutes. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean and orange peel. Stir 1 minute. Add apples. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until mixture is thick, golden and reduced to 2 1/4 cups, stirring often, about 40 minutes. Mix in honey. Cool to room temperature. Discard vanilla bean. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out 1 dough disk on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer crust to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Trim dough overhang to 1/2 inch. Fold overhang in and press, forming double-thick sides. Spread filling evenly in crust.

    Step 3

    Roll out second dough disk on floured surface to 12-inch round. Cut into fourteen 3/4-inch-wide strips. Arrange seven strips diagonally atop filling, trimming ends of strips at tart pan edges. Form lattice by placing seven dough strips diagonally atop first seven strips; trim ends of strips at tart pan edges. Brush lattice with egg glaze.

    Step 4

    Bake galette until crust is golden, about 55 minutes. Cool on rack. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Originally called omelette à la neige (snow omelet) in reference to the fluffy snow-like appearance of the meringue, île flottante (floating island) has a lengthy history that dates back to the 17th century.
Native American people made these with cornmeal dumplings, simmering them with wild grapes, which were harvested at their peak sweetness.
We don’t bake with grapes as often as we should. But even the most average supermarket varieties come alive when roasted with a bit of sugar and seasoning.
This Campari-spiked galette features the herbal aperitif, tart cherries, and floral citrus zest and is perfect for those who prefer bitter to sweet.
Layer homemade custard, ripe bananas, and vanilla wafers under clouds of whipped cream for this iconic dessert.
Reminiscent of a classic diner dessert, this chocolate cream pie offers pure comfort in a cookie crust.
This cookie is an unintended “celebrity.” It’s one of very few cookies that customers ask for specifically upon arrival at Mokonuts.
Palets bretons are oversize cookies that feature butter, and because they’re from Brittany, they’re traditionally made with beurre salé, salted butter.
