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.

FOR THE CRUST:

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
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
FOR THE TOPPING:
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 6 tablespoons butter cut into pieces
FOR THE ICING:
- 1½ cup confectioners sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
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 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!
