Ingredients
-
For the Crust:
1 2/3 cups All purpose flour
1/3 cup Yellow Cornmeal
2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1.5 sticks Butter, unsalted
Dash of Milk and Sugar for the crust coating
For the Filling:
5 large Apples ( I like granny smith because they hold up nicely)
1/4 cup Brown Sugar, packed
1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
2 tbsp Cornstarch
1/4 tsp Koser Salt
1 tbsp Cinnamon, ground
1 tsp Nutmeg, ground
1/2 tsp Cloves, ground
10 Caramels cubes
Directions
For crust:
Blend the first 4 ingredients in processor or in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Add butter a little bit at a time; using pulse, process until mixture is course. Add 3 tablespoons ice water over mixture one tablespoon at a time, pulsing till mixture forms a ball. If the mixture is dry add drops of ice water till it is doughy. Flatten dough into 6 inch disk. Chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
While dough is chilling prep the filling:
Peel 1/2 the apples and leave the skin on the other half for texture. Slice and core all the apples into 1/4 inch thick slices. Preheat oven to 400 cover bottom with tin foil for leaks.
Mix Brown Sugar, Sugar, Cornstarch, Kosher Salt, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Cloves in large bowl. Add Apple slices; toss gently.
Roll dough out on lightly floured parchment till is is a 12-14inch free form circle (meaning it doesnt have to be perfect). place crust, parchment and all on a rimless cookie sheet.
Mound apple mixture with juices in center of crust, leaving 2- to 3-inch plain dough border. Fold dough up over edges of the apples, pleating edges and pinching to seal any cracks in dough. Brush the crust edge with a bit of mile and sprinkle generously with sugar.
Bake until the crust is golden, and juices are bubbling thickly, cover the crust edges with foil if Crostata is over browning, 50 to 55 minutes. Remove from oven and loosen with a pie server.
In a small double boiler melt caramels. Spoon the melted caramel over the top of the Crostata, cool for at least one hour.
