Steps:
- Make pastry dough:
- Beat together butter and 1/3 cup sugar with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reserve 1 tablespoon beaten egg, chilled, for egg wash and beat remaining egg into butter mixture, then add vanilla, beating well. Reduce speed to low and mix in flour, salt, and zest until mixture just forms a dough.
- Halve dough and form each half into a 5- to 6-inch disk. Wrap disks in plastic wrap and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.
- Make filling:
- Heat butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then add fresh or frozen cherries with any juices and sugar and simmer, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. (Cherries will exude juices.) Continue to simmer until cherries are tender but not falling apart, about 8 minutes. Stir together water and cornstarch to form a thick paste, then stir into simmering filling and boil, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. Cool filling quickly by spreading it in a shallow baking pan and chilling until lukewarm, about 15 minutes.
- Assemble and bake crostata:
- Roll out 1 piece of dough (keep remaining piece chilled) between 2 sheets of wax paper into a 12-inch round. Remove top sheet of paper and invert dough into tart pan. Trim overhang to 1/2 inch and fold inward, then press against side of pan to reinforce edge. Chill tart shell. Roll out remaining dough in same manner and remove top sheet of paper, then cut dough into 10 (1-inch-wide) strips and slide dough, still on wax paper, onto a baking sheet. Chill strips until firm, about 5 minutes.
- Put a foil-lined large baking sheet in middle of oven and preheat oven to 375°F.
- Spread filling in chilled tart shell and arrange 5 strips 1 inch apart across filling, pressing ends onto edge of tart shell. Arrange remaining 5 strips 1 inch apart diagonally across first strips to form a lattice with diamond-shaped spaces. Trim edges of all strips flush with edge of pan. Brush lattice top with reserved beaten egg and sprinkle crostata with remaining tablespoon sugar.
- Bake crostata in pan on baking sheet in oven until pastry is golden and filling is bubbling, about 1 hour. (If lattice and edges look too brown after 30 minutes, loosely cover with foil.) Cool crostata completely in pan on a rack, 1 1/2 to 2 hours, to allow juices to thicken.
CHERRY CROSTATA
I made this lovely, rustic, tart-like dessert with fresh cherries from a local farm here in RI. The nice thick, lemony crust coupled with the natural sweetness of the cherries was delicious. This recipe came from the magazine La Cucina Italiana. Prep time includes the dough's resting time.

Steps:
- Prepare crostata dough: Sift 2 1/2 cups flour.
- Place flour, butter (minus 1 tablespoon), sugar, salt, and lemon zest in food processor.
- Pulse until mixture is moistened and crumbly.
- Add egg yolks and pulse until mixture just begins to form a ball of dough. (Crust can be mixed by hand if you do not have a food processor).
- Remove dough and flatten into a disk.
- Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Unwrap dough and place it on a floured work surface.
- I have a little better luck rolling out the dough if I let it come back to room temperature a bit.
- Roll out crust into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
- Transfer circle to a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Using a fork, prick holes in the crust about 5 or 6 times.
- In saucepan over low heat, warm cherry (or strawberry) jam with remaining 1 tbsp butter.
- Spread warm jam in a thin layer over the crust, leaving about 1 1/2 to 2 inches around the edges for a border.
- Spread fresh cherries over the jam.
- Fold the outer edges of the dough over the fruit, leaving about a 6-8 inch circle of the cherries showing in the middle.
- I turned the halved cherries that were visible in the middle skin side up to make the crostata look a bit more uniform.
- Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
- Let cool.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve.

Steps:
- Make crust
- Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter; cut in using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Blend in water by tablespoonfuls until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 30 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.)
- Roll out dough between 2 sheets of plastic to 11-inch round. Remove top sheet of plastic from dough and invert dough onto 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Remove second sheet of plastic. Press dough onto bottom and up sides of pan. Fold excess dough in, forming double-thick sides. Pierce dough all over with fork. Freeze 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake crust until set but still pale, piercing with fork if crust bubbles, about 25 minutes. Cool on rack. Maintain oven temperature.
- Make filling
- Blanch apricots in pot of boiling water 1 minute. Transfer to bowl of ice water to cool. Drain. Peel, halve and pit apricots. Cut each apricot half into 3 wedges. Arrange, rounded side down, in crust. Arrange cherries over and around apricots. Sprinkle sugar over.
- Bake tart until apricots are tender, about 50 minutes. Transfer to rack. Stir apricot preserves in heavy small saucepan over low heat until melted. Strain. Brush strained preserves over fruit in tart. Remove pan sides from tart. Place tart on platter. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
