I want to add a little tip I found on another crostata recipe. Beat an egg with a little water and cover the crust then add some sugar on top and bake. It gives it a sweet delicious crust.

Absolutely delicious and quick to make. I made it right before we sat down for dinner, and it was out of the oven and warm by dessert time. Definitely will be one of my favorite recipes.

I followed the tip from another crostata recipe on this site of lightly covering the crostata with foil for the first 15 minutes, which kept it from overbrowning. I added some nutmeg for a little more spice and dotted the apples with butter before baking. Served it with warm caramel sauce and whipped cream. Cooking it on parchment paper helps getting it to a serving platter and saves on clean up. It was a big hit with my guests.

Big mess! But smelled good and tasted yummy. I will make again to perfect it.
