To Make Crostata

Roll pie dough to approximately 2mm thickness. Using an upside down bowl, cut pie dough into 6” circles. Place a large scoop of fruit filling in the center of the circle. Bring the sides of the dough in, turn 90° and repeat. You should have 6 “petals”. Fold each down in the same direction. Brush with egg wash & sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake at 375°F for 25 minutes. Let cool a bit, eat, and enjoy!
