Apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar... would could ask for a better combination? This dessert is a quick and easy treat that is just perfect for a cold fall evening. Served with a bit of vanilla ice cream and you will be in heaven.  This is a recipe adapted and modified from Ina Garten from the Food Network.
Ingredients
Pilsbury Pie Crust
1 1/2 pounds Green apples (3 large)
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup granulated or superfine sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
For the filling, peel, core, and cut the apples semi thin wedges. Cover the tart dough with the apple wedges in a nice pattern leaving a 1 1/2-inch border.
Combine the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and allspice 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 holding together. Sprinkle evenly on the apples. Gently fold the border over the apples to enclose the dough, pleating it to make a circle.
Bake the crostata for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is golden and the apples are tender. Allow to cool.  Serve warm with Vanilla Ice Cream and take the Thyme to Savor…
