A crostata is an Italian open, baked tart or pie making it look very rustic. It is super easy to prepare.

Why a Crostata?

Sometimes you are looking for an easy dessert to make that is remarkable in looks and taste. You want that last course to be a memorable experience.

You can serve the Mini Peach Crostatas by itself or add a scoop of ice cream. You can dress it up by drizzling some caramel sauce or powdered sugar. The sky is pretty much the limit when it comes to this dessert.

I use refrigerated piecrust in my Mini Peach Crostatas and I let it set out while I’m preparing the peaches. This helps it from tearing when you are trying to unroll the dough.  I also use a bowl with a six-inch diameter to use as a stencil to cut my dough.  Since this a rustic looking dish the piecrust doesn’t have to be perfect.

Mama Fawn’s Tips . . .

• Keep an eye on the peaches while they are cooking. The high sugar content can cause them to burn if you don’t watch them.
• You can use your own pie crust if you have a favorite.
• If you don’t like cinnamon, you can omit it and just add sugar around the crust.
