Ingredients
- 2-3 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Vanilla ice cream (for serving)
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
- Roll out one pie crust onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Arrange the apple mixture in the center of the crust, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Fold the edges of the crust over the apples, pleating as necessary to create a rustic look.
- Roll out the second pie crust and cut it into strips to create a lattice top or simply cut into shapes to place over the apples.
- Brush the crust with beaten egg to give it a golden color when baked.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream if desired.

Handy Tips
- For extra flavor, add a tablespoon of caramel sauce drizzled on top before serving.
- Make sure to not overfill the crostada to prevent it from spilling out while baking.
- Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for a more complex flavor profile.
Ingredient Swaps
- Apples: You can use other varieties like Fuji or Braeburn for different flavor notes.
- Brown Sugar: Substitute with white sugar mixed with a bit of molasses for a similar taste.
- Pie Crusts: Use a homemade pie crust for a fresher taste or a gluten-free pie crust if needed.
