AMAZING APPLE CROSTATA



Amazing Apple Crostata image

There's an Italian restaurant famous for their family-style eating. You'd think something as simple as apple pie wouldn't be as decadent or exotic as this, but you would be very, very wrong. I'm not a dessert lover but I took one of these home and ate it even after it was all soggy from melted ice cream and savored every morsel. There are no words for how good this is. This crust is to die for!

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons ice water, or more if needed
1 lemon, halved
6 small Gala apples, peeled and thinly sliced
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons white sugar

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill until slightly firm, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Squeeze 1/2 the lemon over the apple slices to keep from browning.
  • Place a large piece of parchment paper on a flat work surface. Roll dough into a round 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 the border, pleating the edge to make it fit; leave most of the apples uncovered.
  • 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.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes.

APPLE CROSTATA



Apple Crostata image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     dessert

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons ice water
2 small Golden Delicious apples, peeled, halved, cored and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1 Pippin apple, peeled, halved, cored and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 large egg white beaten with 1 tablespoon of water (for egg wash)
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor. Add the butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add the ice water and pulse until moist clumps form. Gather the dough into a ball; flatten into a disk. (If the dough still crumbles and does not form into a ball, add another tablespoon of ice water.) Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the apples, 1/4 cup of the sugar and lemon juice in large bowl; toss gently to blend. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, dust a large sheet of parchment paper with flour and roll out the dough on the paper to an 11-inch round. Transfer the dough and parchment paper to a large heavy baking sheet. Spoon the apple mixture over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the dough border over the filling to form an 8-inch round, leaving the apples exposed in the center. Pleat loosely and pinch the dough to seal any cracks. Brush the crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar.
  • Bake the crostata until the crust is golden and the apples are tender, about 40 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack; cool for 10 minutes. Slide a metal spatula under the crust to free the crostata from the parchment. Cool the crostata to lukewarm. Sprinkle with the almonds and serve.

APPLE CROSTATA

Categories     dessert

Time 46m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated or superfine sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 pound (1 stick) very cold unsalted butter, diced
2 tablespoons ice water
1 1/2 pounds McIntosh, Macoun, or Empire apples (3 large)
1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup granulated or superfine sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced

Steps:

  • For the pastry, place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse 12 to 15 times, or until the butter is the size of peas. With the motor running, add the ice water all at once through the feed tube. Keep hitting the pulse button to combine, but stop the machine just before the dough becomes a solid mass. Turn the dough onto a well-floured board and form into a disk. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Flour a rolling pin and roll the pastry into an 11-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to a baking sheet.
  • For the filling, peel, core, and cut the apples into 8ths. Cut each wedge into 3 chunks. Toss the chunks with the orange zest. Cover the tart dough with the apple chunks leaving a 1 1/2-inch border.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and allspice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Pour into a bowl and rub it with your fingers until it starts holding together. Sprinkle evenly on the apples. Gently fold the border over the apples to enclose the dough, pleating it to make a circle.
  • Bake the crostata for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is golden and the apples are tender. Allow to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • When making the dough, be sure to use cold butter. This will help to create a flaky crust.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to do it on a lightly floured surface. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking.
  • If the dough is too sticky, you can chill it for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • When filling the crostata, be sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edges. This will help to prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • To create a lattice top, cut the dough into 1-inch wide strips. Then, weave the strips over and under each other, starting from the center and working your way out.
  • Before baking, brush the crostata with an egg wash. This will help to give it a golden brown color.
  • Serve the crostata warm or at room temperature.
