hattroubles: **Cue fighting over the corner pieces with family.*
Pitta_: *with maple whipped cream, which isn’t part of the gifrecipe.
OP note: my favorite apples for baking are yellow delicious and jonagold, but braeburn, pink lady and honeycrisp are popular too.
**INGREDIENTS**
* ¼ cup (½ stick) salted butter
* ½ vanilla bean, split lengthwise
* Basic Tart Dough ([click for recipe](https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/basic-tart-dough))
* All-purpose flour (for dusting)
* 1 pound baking apples (such as Pink Lady; about 2 large), scrubbed, sliced ⅛” thick
* 3 tablespoons dark muscovado or dark brown sugar
* 1 large egg
* 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
* 2 cups heavy cream
* 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
**PREPARATION**
Place a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 375°. Place butter in a small saucepan and scrape in vanilla seeds; add pod. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns (be careful not to burn), 5–8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and remove pod.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough 14×10” rectangle about ⅛” thick (alternatively, roll out into a 12” round). Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange apples on top, overlapping and leaving a 1½” border. Brush apples with brown butter and sprinkle with muscovado sugar. Lift edges of dough over apples, tucking and overlapping as needed to keep rectangular shape.
Beat egg with 1 tsp. water in a small bowl and brush crust with egg wash. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and bake, rotating once, until apples are soft and juicy and crust is golden brown, 40–50 minutes. Let cool slightly on baking sheet before slicing.
Beat cream in a medium bowl to medium-soft peaks. Fold in maple syrup and serve alongside galette.
DO AHEAD: Galette can be baked 2 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature. Reheat slightly before serving.

angusaditus: a random dough appears
Raibean: Baking apples, wtf?
You can bake all of them. Many families stick to a particular kind; others mix and match; others use a specific mix
grennhald: Got to admit, a rectangular galette left me more than a little suprised.
aManPerson: wait, browning butter, with a vanilla pod in there? that seems like it would be too much heat, and it would nuke lots of the costly vanilla flavor.
im-lurking-here: Instruction unclear, dicks out.
*oh shit, waddup*
