Crostata’s are a dessert that I really enjoy making. If you’ve never heard of a crostata before, it’s essentially an open-faced pie. You can make yours with any kind of filling you want. For the one I’m sharing today I used apples and peaches – perfect for the upcoming summer season and on/off spring days we’re having now.
First, peel and cut your fruit.
Then, I mix the fruit with brown sugar, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. The lemon juice is to help the fruit from browning.
After giving the filling a good mix, I brush egg wash onto pie crust dough and then carefully pour/spoon the fruit into the center of my pie crust dough. Next, fold the sides towards the center, slightly overlapping the sections.
Brush some egg wash onto the top/sides of the crostata and sprinkle some sugar onto the dough. I also put a few pats of butter onto the exposed fruit. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the crostata is a nice golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy!
looks AMAZING.

Oh my goodness! This looks so good! When you say egg wash, do you mean egg batter? This made me so hungry. I want to try to make it. Xx
