I've tried several apple crostata recipes and this one is by far the best. The crust is flaky and the filling is perfectly spiced.

This crostata was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

I used Granny Smith apples for this recipe and they were perfect. The tartness of the apples balanced out the sweetness of the caramel sauce perfectly.
