An updated version of the classic apple pie, this recipe combines two favorite flavors, caramel and apple. Instead of drizzling the caramel sauce over the top, why not serve the crostata on plates drizzled with caramel sauce for a show-stopping dessert?

I changed the recipe and used cinnamon sugar instead and added cinnamon as well,(we like alot of cinnamon), i also rolled the dough out thinner and it made 6 plus some extra dough. I also drizzeled some with chocolate instead of carmel and some with Nutello(hazelnut chocolate)and whipped cream on top. the chocolate made it perfect and nutello is great. i used the 2nd piece of dough from the box to make cinnamon sticks with butter and cinnamon sugar and dipped them in the nutello.Great optional snack for the left over dough!
