Expert Tips

A sprinkling of sugar before baking gives the crust a sparkly and sweet finish. Try using coarse sugar (available in the supermarket baking aisle) instead of granulated sugar for an extra-special sugar twinkle.

This is my new favorite dessert. So easy to make, looks great and tastes even better. I have to say I agree the reviewer who said to use parchment paper. It really made clean up easy. I also sprinkled vanilla on the crust. Yummy!

This recipe is great to make TWO delicious crostatas :) Every refrigerated pie crust box I've found contains two pie crusts, anyway. Both of them fit on one medium-sized cookie sheet well. Be careful not to poke a hole in the pie crust at any point, because I had some liquid leak out onto the cookie sheet. That didn't affect the deliciousness, though! I baked the crostatas without nuts, and it was still a tasty treat... so to anyone allergic or not fond of nuts, bake it anyway!

I love this! I can't believe how easy it is and sooooo good. who needs to spend time making a traditional apple pie. for a lot of people just make two. The best part is the crushed pecans on top, the more the better!!
