How to cook deliciously - Apple Crostata with Cheddar Crust
1. Stage
Make the crust: Roll out dough to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick, on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
2. Stage
Make the filling: Toss together apples, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
3. Stage
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spread filling over dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Fold edges in to form a crust; brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Refrigerate until edges are firm, about 30 minutes.

Bake crostata until apples are tender and crust is golden, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool slightly. Brush apples with apricot preserves.
