Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₄ cup Granulated sugar
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoon Cold water
• 1.5 cup Cranberries
• 2 cup Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 unit Egg (beaten)
• 1 tablespoon Turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add cold water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
4. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. In a separate bowl, combine the cranberries, apples, cornstarch, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until the fruit is coated.
6. Spoon the fruit mixture onto the center of the rolled-out dough, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, creating pleats as you go.
7. Brush the beaten egg over the edges of the dough and sprinkle turbinado sugar on top.
8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
9. Allow the crostata to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
