Apple Crostata With Caramel Sauce

I make fruit crostata's often and thought I would share a tip that I found online (can't remember where). After you roll out your pie crust (I use parchment) spread 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs or cooky crumbs on the crust then put the fruit mixture on top. You will absolutely not taste the crumbs or even be able to tell they are there but they will absorb any excess juice and your crust will always be nice and crisp. I expect this would work for a two crust pie too, but I never make them anymore.

I lost this recipe from Betty Crocker & was delighted to find it posted here. It is wonderful. Something more interesting than apple pie but has the true old fashioned flavor that is awesome! I used Kittencal's easy caramel sauce & it was perfect !

I made this for one of my friends on her birthday because she is a big apple fan. The thing is I wanted to do something different and boy, it was loved by all! I made my own homemade pie crust and caramel topping. The caramel topping takes this over the top, while some people preferred it all on it's own. Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Yum. this was awesome. So easy to put together and had great flavor. I left out the caramel topping and really didn't think it needed anything. Ice cream would be good on the side too. I used a 9 inch premade pie crust (lazy) and it worked well with 3 1/2 cups apples. Thanks newspapergal for a keeper.

Loved this crostata but will add more apple next time. I only had three Granny Smith apples and don't think I had the full four cups required. I attempted to make homemade carmel and it didn't turn out, it was more of a syrup. Used it anyway for the flavor. Served with Cinnamon Ice Cream (for electric ice cream machine).

Yummy and easy! I wasn't sure I liked the caramel at first but a few bites in and I was loving it. We put a little homemade vanilla icecream over the top of the warm crostata. Thanks for a great recipe!

Love the simplicity and ease of this recipe, and the result is a delicious, quick substitute for the full blown, 2-hour production apple pie. My 7yo loves to help put it together, too. Thanks for a repeat performer at our house!

This is my go-to recipe when I want to invite last minute company and need a quick dessert. I love the flavor and the ease of preparation - - lickety split and it's done!!!! A little ice cream and caramel sauce and it's complete. Thanks for a great, quick dessert recipe.

This was a very simple, impressive-looking dessert. I used a refridgerated, ready-to-unroll pie crust and it made prep so quick. My only problem: I baked this on a flat cookie sheet and the sugar/butter oozed over the side, pooled on the bottom of the stove, and caught on fire!! YIKES! So, mine probably could've cooked 5-10 more mins. but I had to remove it early. Still, very tasty, served with vanilla ice cream and caramel topping (jar). YUMMY!

I've been making Apple Crostata's for my husband lately in lieu of apple pie, much quicker for a WeekNite. This was the first Caramel one I had done for him. He loved it.

Wonderful recipie, and wonderful idea. It makes a nice small pie. I like stuff for a day or two, but with only two of us, a whole big pie lingers. This is so good it sometimes doesn't last till the next day! I got some gorgeous, huge Fuji apples and only used two. I made one and had to turn around and use the other crust and make another. Just too easy!

This is a great easy recipe. It goes together very quick and looks nice as well. I only had one problem--assemble it on whatever you will be baking it on. I put it together on cutting board and had difficulty moving it to the baking sheet--my inexperience showing through! I will be making this again and again its that darn easy.
