Time 2h45m

Yield One 11-inch crostata

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 disk Cheddar Pie Dough
All-purpose flour, for surface
1 large egg, lightly beaten for egg wash
Coarse sanding sugar, for sprinkling
2 tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Gala, plus 2 McIntosh apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup apricot preserves, warmed

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Roll out dough to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick, on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Make the filling: Toss together apples, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread filling over dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Fold edges in to form a crust; brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Refrigerate until edges are firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake crostata until apples are tender and crust is golden, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool slightly. Brush apples with apricot preserves.

This crostata was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a sweeter variety of apples. Next time I'll use a more tart apple.

This is the best apple crostata I've ever had! The crust is so flaky and the filling is perfectly spiced. I love the combination of apples and cheddar cheese.

This recipe is a keeper! The crust is amazing! I used a food processor to make the dough and it came together in seconds. The filling is also very good. I used a combination of apples and pears and it was delicious.

My family loved this apple crostata! The crust was so cheesy and flavorful. I used granny smith apples and they held their shape really well. I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the filling for extra flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of cheddar cheese in desserts, but this crostata changed my mind. The cheese added a subtle sharpness that really enhanced the sweetness of the apples.
