Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds of apples I used Granny Smith, about 3 large
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 4 Tablespoons cold butter cut into pats
- 1 pie crust (refrigerated or your own homemade crust
- 1 egg white + 2 teaspoons cold water
- Dust with cinnamon and sugar if desired
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees,
- Using a rolling pin, roll your pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to your baking sheet. I find using a pizza pan works great for me.
- Peel, core, and slice your apples. Pile apples in the center of the crust, leaving a 2" border around the outside.
- In a small bowl, mix together flour, sugar, salt, and apple pie spice.
- Using a pastry blender or two knives, “cut” the butter pieces into the flour mixture. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of the apples.
- Starting on one side of the crust, begin folding the crust over and overlapping as you go around the outside of the pie crust.
- Whisk egg and water together to form an egg wash. Brush the egg wash on the crust.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until crust is golden brown and apple slices are tender.
- Cool slightly before cutting.
- Serve warm apple crostata with vanilla ice cream if desired.

It is delicious cold, too!
