Apple Crumb Crostata
When I saw my mother making her apple turnover, I knew company was coming. I also knew the dough scraps would be my treat. She’d roll them in sugar and cinnamon, bake them and we’d enjoy the flaky, light, buttery morsels together with a cold glass of milk. My mom’s specialty was that apple turnover. Mine, apple crostata. I love its organic shape, and fact that it doesn’t require a dish or pie pan. And because the crostata is baked directly on a sheet pan, it retains its flakiness better than a pie.
Bacon Toffee
This is the toffee for Claudia Fleming's apple crostata, inspired by her mother's specialty, an apple turnover. When Ms. Fleming made this sauce with Mark Bittman, he told her it was gorgeous. "Brown sugar is magical,” was her reply.
