1
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2
Prepare the Filling
While the dough is chilling, prepare the apple filling. Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
3
Roll Out the Dough
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4
Assemble the Crostata
Place the apple filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating it to create a rustic look.
5
Bake
Brush the crust with an egg wash made of beaten egg and water. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
6
Cool and Serve
Allow the crostata to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.
