Easy Rustic Apple Crostata
Pies are great but crostatas are better. Easy, rustic, no-need-to-be-perfect and taste the same!
It’s apple season and this recipe is a great way to use them up as a delicious dessert or breakfast.
I left the skin on my apples to not only save time but it also keeps all the beneficial fiber! I have two apple trees in my yard that are heavy with fruit and I will happily make as many crostatas as I can!!
