Steps:
- For the crust: Add the flour, salt, and sugar to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is finely chopped and the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the mascarpone cheese and lemon juice and pulse a few times. Add the ice water and run the machine just until the mixture is moist and crumbly, but does not form a ball. Do not overmix. Turn the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Press into a disk, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- For the filling: Put an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine the apricots, walnuts, lemon zest, cinnamon, and sea salt. Add the honey and stir until all the ingredients are coated. Stir in 2/3 of the cheese.
- Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit inside a 12 by 17-inch baking sheet and put it on a work surface. Put the chilled dough on the parchment paper. Roll the dough into an 11-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Lift the parchment paper and transfer it to a baking sheet. Put the apricot filling in the center of the dough, spreading evenly, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the dough border over the filling to form an 8-inch round. Pleat the edge of the pastry and pinch to seal any cracks in the dough. Arrange the remaining cheese on top of the filling.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the crust with the beaten egg. Bake until the crust starts to turn golden, about 15 to 18 minutes. Cover the crostata loosely with a piece of foil and cook until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted, another 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the crostata from the oven to a cutting board and uncover. Cool for 10 minutes, then cut into slices and arrange on a serving platter. Serve while still warm.

- Shape dough into 2 balls, 1 slightly larger than the other. Flatten each ball into a 5-inch disk, then wrap each in wax paper and chill 30 minutes.
- Stir together preserves, lemon juice, and extract in a small bowl.
- Roll out thicker piece of dough (keep remaining piece chilled) between 2 sheets of wax paper into an 11-inch round. Remove top sheet of paper and invert dough into a 9- by 1-inch fluted round tart pan with a removable bottom. Peel off paper and fit dough into pan, trimming side to 1/4 inch below top of rim. Chill shell.
- Roll out remaining dough in same manner and remove top sheet of paper, then cut dough into 10 (1-inch-wide) strips. Slide strips on wax paper onto a baking sheet and chill until firm, about 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Spread apricot filling in tart shell and arrange 5 strips across filling (about 1 inch apart), trimming excess dough at ends of strips. Arrange remaining 5 strips on top (about 1 inch apart) to form a lattice (do not weave), trimming ends. Press ends onto edge of tart shell and bake crostata in middle of oven until golden, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a rack.

SUMMER FRUIT CROSTATA
Steps:
- For the pastry:
- Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and toss quickly (and carefully!) with your fingers to coat each cube of butter with the flour. Pulse 12 to 15 times, or until the butter is the size of peas. With the motor running, add the ice water all at once through the feed tube. Keep hitting the pulse button to combine, but stop the machine just before the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board, roll it into a ball, cut in half, and form into 2 flat disks. Wrap the disks in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. If you only need 1 disk of dough The other disk of dough can be frozen.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the pastry into an 11-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to the baking sheet.
- For the pastry (makes 2 crostatas) .
- For the filling:
- Cut the peaches and plums in wedges and place them in a bowl with the blueberries. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of the flour, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, the orange zest, and the orange juice. Place the mixed fruit on the dough circle, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border.
- Combine the 1/4 cup flour, the 1/4 cup sugar, and the salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Pour into a bowl and rub it with your fingers until it starts to hold together. Sprinkle evenly over the fruit. Gently fold the border of the pastry over the fruit, pleating it to make an edge.
- Bake the crostata for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is golden and the fruit is tender. Let the crostata cool for 5 minutes, then use 2 large spatulas to transfer it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
CHERRY & APRICOT CROSTATA WITH RICOTTA FILLING RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:
- Cut one stick of butter into 1/4-inch cubes or shred with a grater into a bowl (my preferred method). Place butter in the freezer for at least an hour. (You may also do this a day or two in advance.) Make the dough: Put the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor, and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is the size of small peas or pebbles. Now, slowly add the ice water, and pulse just until the dough begins to come together. You don't want to over-blend or over work the dough. NOTE: The dough should stick together, like pie dough. It should not be super soft. Simply gently pat the dough into a disc, and wrap it in a piece of plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least an hour (helps to relax any gluten, so the crust will be tender). To make the filling: Whisk together the ricotta, two egg yolks, vanilla, sugar and orange zest. Place back in the fridge until you're ready to make the crostata. For the fruit: Add the sugar, lemon juice and almond extract. Stir gently to combine. NOTE: Clearjel can be purchased either through Amazon or on King Arthur Flour.com It's a pie filling thickener, and I love it because I don't get runny fruit. Taste a small bite of each fruit, and gauge how sweet you want it to be. Add more sugar, if you need to. Set aside. For the crostata: Remove the dough from the fridge. You might have to let it sit for 10-15 minutes, until it is pliable enough to roll out the dough to roughly 9" in diameter, on a lightly floured surface. Don't worry about how it looks. The crust doesn't need to be too thin or perfectly shaped - in fact, part of the charm of the crostata is its odd and rustic shape. Once rolled out, place on a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and pop back into the fridge until you're ready to assemble. NOTE: I actually rolled out the dough on parchment paper, and simply lifted it onto the baking sheet. Preheat oven to 350F. Remove the chilled crust from the fridge. If using the jam, evenly spread a thin layer, leaving about a 3" border. Carefully pour the ricotta filling into the center of the crust. Using a spatula, spread it evenly, being careful to leave about a 3" border-- you'll be folding over the dough to create the "crust". Pile enough of the the fruit on top of the ricotta filling, that will fit in the center of the crust, making sure to leave about 3 inches around the edges to fold over. Brush the egg wash over the crust. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top, for a delightful crunch. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the edges start to brown. NOTE: My crostata took about 50 minutes to bake, as the dough need more flour, and it melted. Next time, I'll increase the flour (as corrected in this recipe). Allow to cool until slightly warm. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar and a side of vanilla ice cream, or fresh whipped cream.

- For the filling, cut the apricots in half and remove the pit. (You do not need to peel apricots as the skin is very delicate and will blend into the filling.)
- Coarsely chop, and mix the chopped apricots and sugar in a heavy saucepan and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the fruit has softened and begun to break down.
