Method
 

To make the crust
  1. 1. In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar and salt
  2. Add cold butter and cut it in with a pastry cutter until coarse crumbs form.
  3. Drizzle ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, until the dough just comes together.
  4. Flatten into a disk, wrap and chill for at least 45 minutes.
To make the cream cheese layer
  1. Beat cream cheese with sugar, vanilla, orange zest, and orange juice until smooth.
  2. Refridgerate until ready to assemble.
To make the cranberry-orange filling
  1. In a saucepan, combine cranberries, orange juice, sugar, zest, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Cook over medium heat 6-8 minutes, until cranberries burst and mixture thickens slightly.
  3. Cool completely
Assemble the galette
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°℉ (205°C)
  2. On parchment paper, roll out the dough into a 12 inch circle.
  3. Spread the cream cheese layer into the center, leaving a 2-inch border.
  4. Spoon the cranberry-orange filling on top.
  5. Fold edges over the filling, pleating as you go.
  6. Brust crust with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  7. Bake for 28-30 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling slightly.
  8. Cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing- it sets as it cools.
