    love this pastry! I mixed the apples with the flour mixture before putting into the pie shell (by mistake and my guests loved it!!! I did bake longer than the required time to brown the base.

    Simply delicious. Tart dough is sturdy,crisp and cuts beautifully. Apples in season elevate the filling to something special.

    I have made this more than once and is going to make it again and again. I have compared so many Crostata TO THIS ONE, Ina has the only one that is so simple and yet so delicious. Thank you Ina. 5+ STARS TO YOU!

    I was skeptical that this crostata would have a lot of flavor because it requires so little, but it was actually amazing! I used refrigerated pie crust and omitted the orange zest. I used Jonagold apples and I would definitely use them again! I love this recipe, it was so good and super easy to make.

    I discovered this recipe in '04, been making it every since. I do slice the apples and use 1/3 white and 1/3 cup of brown sugar, I omit the orange zest. It takes between 40-45 minutes to bake and I also brush the top it with half and half & sprinle it with cinn and sugar. Oh-la-la is it ever good :-

    This is hands down the BEST dessert I have ever made - thank you Ina!! I added 1/4 tsp of almond & vanilla extract to the apples (Jonagold. The pastry is really easy and has such an amazing light flaky texture- it's worth making it. I don't have a large enough food processor, so I cut the butter in and then added the water and mixed with a fork. It most likely is my oven, but I had to cook it about 45 minutes. Thanks again for this recipe, it will be a staple in our home for years :

    Ina you are my go-to girl for recipes- you never let me down! This recipe was so easy and sooooo good. I've made pies before but never crostada and now I don't know if I'll ever go back to conventional apple pie again!

    As always Ina's recipe is delicious! I made this during the week and used ready made pie crust (9" and it came out perfect! Next time I will make the my own. This is better than apple pie! Can't wait to try it with pears, peaches, etc.
