  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup butter cold cut up into small cubes
  • 1/4 cup ice water

Filling

  • 3 large ripe peaches sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Finishing

  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon organic sugar or sanding sugar

Instructions
 

  • Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor and pulse a few times.
  • Add the butter and pulse a few times until the flour mixture looks like oatmeal.
  • Slowly add cold water and pulse until the dough just comes together.
  • Remove the dough from the food processor and press it with your hands to make a disc.
  • Wrap the disc of dough in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, slice the peaches and place them in a large bowl with sugar and lemon juice.
  • After an hour roll out the dough about 14 inches in diameter.
  • Transfer the dough to a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Make a circle with the peaches about 2 inches from the edge of the dough.
  • Fill in with the remaining peaches.
  • Fold over the edges of the dough on top of the peaches.
  • Brush the edges with cream, then sprinkle with organic or sanding sugar.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 70 minutes.
  • Remove the crostata from the oven and place it on a cooling rack.
  • Serve alone or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

If you are short on time you could use a store bought pie crust. However, you may need to combine the two together to make the crust large enough to fold over. Or you could make a smaller crostata.
