Cinnamon-Apple Crostata

This European-style tart is easy when you shape it on a cookie sheet. You'll love this cinnamon treat warm from the oven.

I must be missing something. The flavor of the crostata is great, but how do you get it off the cookie sheet in one piece? After baking, it was heavy and juicy, so did not lift well off the pan.

I have been making this apple crostada for 3-4 yrs. and loving it always. It''s easy and alway a hit with company. Very impressive when it only takes a few minutes to put together (minus the paring of apples)..great for Fall and spur of the moment desserts..serve with french vanilla ice cream..mmmmmm good..

I made this for my Dad''s 52nd birthday, and it was a huge hit with my family! The dessert was very simple to make, and the result was really awesome. My mom is making me bake two of these for Thanksgiving this year! She likes it better than her own apple pie!! I highly reccomend this recipe. I brushed the crust with butter when it came out, and drizzled a little butter over the top when it was finished to give it a shinier, glazed look. Also, I used pecans, they rocked.

This is an excellent alternative to a regular apple pie which is a little heavy this time of year. The size is perfect for 8 people. Use a combination of gala and golden delicious apples, and tuck in a few blueberries to make it more interesting. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on the crust before baking. When serving, scoop vanilla ice cream on top and drizzle with caramel topping for an extra special presentation. The combination of flavors are so pleasing to the palate. This is just about the perfect dessert (if you can live without chocolate:)) Everyone should try this at least once!
