Steps:
- To make the crust, mix flour, sugar, salt, and butter on medium speed until mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the yolks; mix slightly. Add ice water. Mix until just combined. Form dough into disk; wrap in plastic. Chill for 1 hour or up to 3 days.
- To make the filling, melt butter in a large pan on high heat. Add apples, zests, and salt, stirring until coated. Sprinkle sugar, and saute, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, liquid has thickened, and apples are almost golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet, and let cool to room temperature.
- To make the crumb topping, combine flour, dark-brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, allspice, and butter in a food processor, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse sand. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- To assemble, preheat oven to 375 degrees and flour a piece of parchment paper. Roll chilled dough into a 1/4-inch-thick, 14-inch circle on parchment (trim excess). Place dough and parchment on cookie sheet. Mound cooled apple mixture in center, leaving a 3-inch border. Sprinkle crumb mixture on top of apples. Fold edges of the dough on top of apples, overlapping and leaving about a 6-inch round opening. Refrigerate until dough is firm, about 30 minutes. Brush edge of crust with egg, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until pastry is golden brown and apples are tender, about 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, with vanilla ice cream.
APPLE CRUMB CROSTATA
When I saw my mother making her apple turnover, I knew company was coming. I also knew the dough scraps would be my treat. She'd roll them in sugar and cinnamon, bake them and we'd enjoy the flaky, light, buttery morsels together with a cold glass of milk. My mom's specialty was that apple turnover. Mine, apple crostata. I love its organic shape, and fact that it doesn't require a dish or pie pan. And because the crostata is baked directly on a sheet pan, it retains its flakiness better than a pie.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and blend for 5 seconds. Add butter, pulsing, until mixture resembles small peas. Add ice water and continue to pulse until mixture comes together in moist clumps; if mixture is too dry add a bit more water a tablespoon at a time. Gather dough into a ball, flatten into a disc, wrap in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour or freeze for up to a month.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl toss together sliced apples, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, zest and vanilla. Set aside.
- Make the crumble: In a medium bowl, mix together granulated sugar, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Drizzle in melted butter and, using a fork, stir until mixture is crumbly and all the flour is incorporated; the crumbs should be smaller than 1 inch.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove dough from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 14-inch circle. Transfer to baking sheet and chill until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Remove baking sheet from refrigerator and let soften for 1 to 2 minutes. Arrange filling evenly in the center of the dough, leaving a 4-inch border all around; reserve the juices. Brush exposed dough border with beaten egg and fold edge in up over fruit, making pleats every 2 inches. Pour remaining juices over exposed fruit, brush the folded outer edge with beaten egg, and sprinkle with raw sugar. Cover exposed fruit with about 1 cup crumble.
- Bake crostata until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 40 to 50 minutes. Remove and let cool before serving. Serve with bacon toffee sauce, if desired.
