The crostata is the Italian equivalent of a fruit pie, though instead of filling it with fresh fruit, we reach for our favorite jam jar.
Rustic, homey, and versatile, it is one of the most classic home-baked Italian desserts, loved equally by children and adults. I can’t count how many times I’ve baked a crostata for breakfast, to have as an afternoon snack along with a cup of tea, or to close a meal on a sweet note.
