INGREDIENTS:
CRUST: 1-3/4 cups all purpose flour 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1/4 cup honey
2 large egg yolks 1 tablespoon ice water STREUSEL: 1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar 1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes FILLING: 1/4 cup sugar 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 3 cups (packed) grated Gala, Jonagold, or Winesap apples (about 4)



1 FOR CRUST: Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in processor. Add butter; using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk honey, yolks, and 1 tablespoon ice water in bowl. Add honey mixture to flour mixture; using on/off turns, process until clumps form. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 1 hour.
2 Roll dough out on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Press dough onto bottom and up sides of pan. Fold overhang in; press to form double layer. Cover and chill 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
3 FOR STREUSEL: Mix all ingredients in medium bowl. Using fingertips, rub in butter until pea-size clumps form. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
4 Transfer to crust, spreading evenly. Sprinle streusel over. Bake until streusel is golden and filling is bubbling, about 1 hour. Cool.
