Open pie - tart - apple crostata

 

Recipe Dough

1.25 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) salted or unsalted butter, cold - will update in grams

 Ice water Add just enough till forms a ball

Lemon zest (Yes in the dough!) adds a fantastic zing

Fillings: with whatever seasonal fruits in the fridge:
ie. Pears, Nectarines, Peaches etc
Top with nuts ie Walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds...

Tip: Dust fruit chunks with cornflour. This prevents a runny watery pool but makes a thick syrup fruit sauce.

The recipe does not use any artificial sugars!

Dust with roasted soybean powder before serving. Enjoy with a nice cup of tea.
