Instructions

1.
**Make the crust:** In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3.
**Prepare the filling:** In a medium bowl, combine the sliced apples, almond flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
4.
**Assemble and bake:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5.
Arrange the apple filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as needed. If desired, brush the crust with milk and sprinkle with a little sugar.
6.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
7.
**Make the honey-lemon drizzle:** While the crostata is baking, combine the honey and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the honey is melted and the mixture is smooth.
8.
Let the crostata cool slightly before drizzling with the honey-lemon mixture. Serve warm.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the apple filling.

If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra decadent treat.

"The grilled asparagus provides a fresh, slightly bitter counterpoint to the richness of the cream sauce in the linguine. The lemon-herb vinaigrette echoes the citrus notes in the main course, creating a harmonious bridge between the dishes while keeping the meal light and healthy."
