Receta Apple Orange Cranberry Crostata
What is a Crostata? A Crostata is an Italian baked tart and a form of a pie. A free-form rustic style pie/tart. A Crostata is easy to make, delicious and impressive to serve. It can be made with a number of fillings, but my favorite filling is; Apple Orange Cranberry.

1-9" homemade pie crust (Crisco)

Preheat oven to 425. Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. In a bowl, place apple slices and add cinnamon, nutmeg and apple pie spice. Toss to coat and add to skillet. Cook for 10 minutes and then stir in cranberries. Cranberries will pop when heated through. Add orange zest and orange juice. Cook until liquid cooks down slightly and apples are tender. Unroll pie crust onto prepared baking sheet. Spread out into a large circle. Spoon prepared apple and cranberry mixture into center of crust and fold in sides loosely and unevenly. Using a pastry brush, brush egg wash over crust. Sprinkle crust with 1 t sugar.
