Apple Galette with Orange

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.
