A crostata is a traditional baked Italian tart or pie, which is easy to make since the most rustic it looks, the better. This recipe calls for fresh apples and dried cherries, but feel free to try whatever fresh or dried fruits you have on hand; crostatas are very versatile and fun to experiment with. You can also use a variety of apples to give the crostata more complex flavour. Try any combination of Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, Rome, or Cortland apples. Take advantage of an apple orchard haul, as this recipe is perfect to make when the temperatures start to drop and the leaves start to change colour.
