Amazing Apple Crostata

Servings:

Before eating this apple crostata recipe, you'd think something as simple as apple pie wouldn't be as decadent as this. But you'll soon find you were very, very wrong. I'm not a dessert lover, but I took one of these home from an Italian restaurant famous for their family-style eating. I ate it even after it was all soggy from melted ice cream and savored every morsel.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Mix flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt together with an electric mixer until combined. Mix in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add ice water, 2 teaspoons at a time, while the mixer is running until dough just holds together. Test dough by pinching a small amount between your fingers; if it is crumbly, add a 1 teaspoon more ice water at a time.
  2. 2 Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill until slightly firm, 20 to 30 minutes.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. 4 Squeeze 1/2 the lemon over apple slices to keep from browning.
  5. 5 Place a large piece of parchment paper on a flat work surface. Roll dough into a round, about 12-to-16 inches in diameter, 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick. Arrange apple slices in 2 layers on the dough, leaving a 1 1/2- to 2-inch border all around. Fold up border, pleating edge to make it fit; leave most apples uncovered.
  6. 6 Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle over apples. Squeeze remaining 1/2 lemon over apples. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons sugar over crust. Transfer parchment paper to a baking sheet.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes.
