Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoon Cold water
• 4 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoon Cornstarch
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• ¹⁄₄ cup Brown sugar
• ¹⁄₄ cup Rolled oats
• ¹⁄₄ cup Chopped walnuts
• 2 tablespoon Unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Arrange the apple slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, oats, walnuts, and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples.
8. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples, creating a rustic crust.
9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
10. Allow the crostata to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
