How to Make Apple Crostata Ina Garten

  1. **Make the pastry:** In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, combine 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pulse a few times to combine.
  2. Add 1 cup (2 sticks) cold, cubed butter. Pulse 12-15 times, or until the butter is the size of small peas.
  3. With the motor running, add 1/2 cup ice water through the feed tube. Pulse until the dough just comes together; do not overmix.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. **Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).**
  6. **Make the filling:** Peel, core, and thinly slice 6 medium apples. Toss with the zest of 1 orange.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into an 11-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet.
  8. Arrange the apple slices over the dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border.
  9. **Make the topping:** In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon allspice. Pulse a few times.
  10. Add 6 tablespoons cold, cut butter. Pulse until the mixture is crumbly.
  11. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  12. Gently fold the 1 1/2-inch border of the dough over the apples, pleating as you go to create a rustic edge.
  13. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  14. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
