I always watch Ina's program, my Mom loves watching Ina. This Apple Crostata is good for Mother's Day, and I am going to make 3 Crostatas that day. Thanks Ina for those wonderful recipes.

I agree with the other reviewers that the crust is very good. Not so much flaky like a standard crust, but more of a tender, crumbly cookie crust. However, the apples were not cooked enough in mine. I used Pink Lady apples, sliced on the thickest setting on my mandoline, but they were still pretty crunchy. I think they would have been almost raw if I had cut them into chunks as the recipe specifies. The flavor was good though. Next time I think I will microwave the sliced apples until they are almost completely cooked and cool them before adding to the crust. But it's a good recipe and a lot less labor intensive than a standard apple pie.

I made this recipe from her party book. It was wonderful. Received many compliments and directed them right where they belonged. Good job Ina.

I made this a few months ago, and it was delicious! I plan on making this again for New Years day dinner. It was very easy to make and I wouldn't change anything!

I made this yesterday for a Halloween get togther and it was pretty good! I forgot to get the orange at the store but subtitute the zest for lime juice and some sugar & cinnamon with the apples. Let that sit for about 10 mins and add it to the crust. I really like the crumbs on top. It came out with a nice crust and the pastry was flaky and light even though with all that butter. I actually like this better than Giada's version even though hers was good also. But once you put this in the oven, really need to keep an eye on it because it tends to get brown pretty quickly! Served this with vanilla ice cream and it was heavenly. =

This recipe was easy to make and so delicious. THe crust is light and buttery and the apples are delicious with the sugar mixture on top. This is definitely a keeper as are most of Ina's recipes.

I've made this sooo many times, but I don't think I've ever reviewed it. This is such a great recipe. The first time I made it I assembled it then took it to a dinner party. I popped in into the oven & by the time we were ready for dessert it had cooked & was sitting out cooling off. It's so easy & this pastry recipe is so simple & easy, especially if you have a food processor. No fussing about with trying to make it look pretty because it's meant to be a rustic dessert. Maybe the bottom will be soggy if the dough isn't rolled out thinly enough.
