Peach Crostata

This is such a great an easy recipe to make with fresh fruit in the summer.

Making the crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 pound butter
2 tablespoons ice water

Place the flour, and sugar in a food processor. Pulse it a couple of time to combine. Add the butter (in diced pieces) and pulse 12 to 15 times, until the butter is the size of peas. Add the ice water and continue to hit the pulse button until the dough is almost combined. Before the dough becomes a solid ball, place it onto a well-floured board and form into a disk. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out into an 11-12inch circle.


Making the filling:

3-4 large peaches
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar

In a large bowl mix the peaches, flour and sugar together and place onto the dough leaving a 2 inch border around the edges. Fold the edges over the peaches. Beat 1 egg and lightly brush it onto the folded edges and sprinkle with cinnomon sugar.

Bake the crostata for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is golden and the peaches are tender. This Dessert takes GREATTTT warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
