This crostata was a disaster. The crust fell apart and the filling was runny.

I would not recommend this recipe. The crust was difficult to work with and the filling was bland.

I'm not a big fan of peaches, but I loved this crostata. The almonds and the brown sugar really balanced out the tartness of the peaches.

This crostata was a delight! The peaches were perfectly caramelized and the crust was flaky and flavorful. I served it with a dollop of whipped cream and it was heavenly.
