Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and salt until well combined. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Add the chilled butter cubes and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

04

Step
30 mins

Gently flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax. (30 minutes)

05

Step
0 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

06

Step
5 mins

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12- to 14-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick. (5 minutes)

07

Step
0 mins

Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

08

Step
3 mins

In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced apples with 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, and the juice of 1/2 lemon. (3 minutes)

09

Step
5 mins

Arrange the apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. (5 minutes)

10

Step
5 mins

Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as needed to create a rustic crust. (5 minutes)

11

Step
0 mins

Squeeze the remaining 1/2 lemon over the apples. Sprinkle the crust with the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar.

12

Step
55 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. (55 minutes)

13

Step
15 mins

Let the crostata cool slightly before slicing and serving. (15 minutes)

For an extra flaky crust, make sure your butter and water are very cold.
Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
A sprinkle of chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans, adds a nice crunch.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra-special treat.
