Recipe Description

This Peach Crostata is one of my summer staples. It is a great recipe which combines slices of peach with brown sugar, cinnamon, and rum. These flavorful peaches are placed on dough and baked into a rustic looking crostata. It’s an easy and very tasty dessert!

To make this recipe, start by tossing peaches with brown sugar, rum and cinnamon. Arrange these peach slices on a pie crust. Bring the pie crust over the peaches around the edges of the crostata. Brush the edges of the crostata with cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake in the oven and serve warm slices with vanilla ice cream.
