How to cook deliciously - Apple Crostata
1. Stage
Mix the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the flour and combine until the flour looks crumbly. Next, slowly add water and the vanilla extract, tossing the dough with a fork to combine everything. Keep tossing the dough until it forms a ball. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator; chill the dough for about 30 minutes. The dough should be easier to handle once that time is up.
2. Stage
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly flour your rolling surface and roll out the dough into a circle that's 10 inches in diameter. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the dough to the parchment. Mix the apples, sugar and flour for the filling and place spoonfuls of the filling over the dough. Cover most of the dough, leaving a 2-inch margin of uncovered dough all around the filling. Fold this dough up and over the filling, but leave the center of the crostata uncovered. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle it all over the exposed filling; mix the egg with water and brush the egg wash around the top of the crust.
3. Stage
Bake the crostata for 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust has turned golden-brown and the filling is bubbling. Slide the parchment and crostata off the pan and onto a wire rack. Drizzle the warmed caramel topping over the crostata. You can serve this warm or at room temperature.
