Quick and Easy Homemade Apple Crostata Recipe Perfect for Last Minute Thanksgiving Dessert

Apple Crostata (Italian) or Apple Galette (French). However you want to call it, is another easy peasy dessert recipe that is perfect to make throughout the fall season and Thanksgiving. A Crostata/Galette is essentially a free-form pastry baked without a pie pan or tart ring. Keep in mind, this is by no means my own creation. I’ve seen a few Apple Crostata/Galette recipes and tweaked a few ingredients towards my liking.

Ingredients:

Quick and Easy Homemade Apple Crostata Recipe Perfect for Last Minute Thanksgiving Dessert
  • 1 9-inch Pie Crust
  • 2 cups Apples (of your choice), peeled and cubed
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400F/200C

OPTION 1: Leave the 9-inch pie crust as is to make 1
OPTION 2: Divide pie crust in half, form dough into a disk and roll out a 5-inch round to make 2 minis

Place pie crust dough onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper, set aside

In a large bowl, mix together: apples, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, flour, vanilla extract

Spoon mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-2-inch boarder

Fold boarder of the crust over the filling leaving the center uncovered

Bake for 15 minutes, rotate the baking sheet and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until crust is lightly golden brown

Let it cool for 30 minutes before serving.
