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.
To make my Peach Crostata, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
Cut each peach into four. Slice each quarter into quarters, making a total of 16 slices per peach.
In a large bowl, toss the chopped peaches with ¼ cup of brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of spiced rum, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of flour.
Roll out the pie crust into a 12-inch circle. It doesn’t have to be perfect! Transfer the pie circle to a baking sheet.
Place the sliced peaches on the pastry. Spread them out until the pastry is covered, but don’t worry if some peaches overlap. Bring the edges of the pie crust over the peaches.
Brush the edges of the crostata with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream and sprinkle the edges with 2 tablespoons of turbinado sugar.
Bake the crostata in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
Serve large warm slices of this crostata with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
