Apple Crumble Crostata

This rustic Apple Crumble Crostata combines two of my family's favorite apple desserts; an apple pie and an apple crumble. It's both casual and rustic but still has a lot of pizzazz.

Ingredients

FOR THE CRUST:

  • 2 9" round pie crusts homemade or store-bought

FOR THE FILLING:

  • 4 Pink Lady apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 lemon
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

FOR THE TOPPING:

  • 2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 6 tablespoons butter cut into pieces

FOR THE ICING:

  • cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  • -Preheat oven to 350-degrees Fahrenheit.

TO MAKE THE FILLING:

  • -Place filling ingredients in a large bowl and toss to mix thoroughly.

TO MAKE THE TOPPING:

  • -Place the topping ingredients in a large bowl and use your hands (or a pastry blender) to work the butter into the flour, sugar, and oats to form a mixture that resembles small peas or coarse crumbs.

TO PREPARE THE CRUST:

  • -Use a rolling pin to gently roll the pie dough to increase the circle's circumference by about ½ inch. Transfer the rolled pie doughs onto two baking sheets that have been sprayed with baking spray.

TO ASSEMBLE THE CROSTATAS:

  • -Place half of the sliced apples into the center of each pie dough, making sure to leave an approximate 2" border. *Note - Make sure to drain the liquid from the apples before adding them onto the pie crust if needed.
  • -Fold the border crust over the apples in sections. *NOTE - Don't forget that this pie is rustic, so do not worry that it's not perfect.
  • -Top each crostata with half of the crumble topping and bake in a preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the juices start to bubble.
  • -Remove to a cooling rack and cool completely.
  • -In a small bowl, whisk together the icing ingredients until smooth. Drizzle the top of the cooled crumble topping with the icing, or fill a piping bag with the icing and pipe stripes of icing all over each apple crumble crostata.
  • -Transfer the cooled and iced crostata using a large, wide spatula to serving platters or cake plates.
  • -Cut into wedges, serve and enjoy!
