Apple Pie Crostata
I have a confession to make. I LOVE all things bread. Who doesn’t though right?! One of my biggest weaknesses are pillsbury biscuits. My issue is that I always eat too many and those tubes that you buy in the refrigerated section come with six in them, which means that my husband and I have to eat at least two. In order to remedy this, I stumbled upon Grands Frozen Biscuits. Now I can just cook as many as I want. Plus, they work perfectly as a flaky crostata crust.
One of my other obsessions is apple pie. I literally have at least 8 apple pie recipes on my site, cookies, cupcakes, mini pies, actual pie, bars, energy bites, bread pudding, and muffins. My girls are just as obsessed as I am so when this crostata was baking during quiet time they both came out asking what that amazing smell was.
All I could do was giggle and tell them to get back into their rooms so that I could top my slice with some french vanilla ice cream and dig in. What?! I had to taste test it before I gave it to them. Let me just tell you that this was worth the mid afternoon calories. The apple pie filling was light and sweet with a flaky, warm crust.
The best way I can describe this apple pie crostata is that it’s a sweet version of a broccoli cheddar bread bowl. Just something that you want to dive right into. Sweet and comforting that you can eat for breakfast or dessert.
