A rustic peach and berry crostata, the ultimate summer dessert! A tender cornmeal crust is filled with almond creme and topped with fresh stone fruit and berries.
My local market has super sweet yellow and white peaches and plump blueberries and blackberries available, so I thought that the combination of sweet and tangy fruit would be perfect for a crostata.
When I get the chance, I enjoy making fancy lattice designs on apple pies. However, a crostata is a much more quick and simple way to create an elegant and flavorful dessert, in less time and use less filling! A crostata is an Italian baked tart (similar to a pie) with large chunky pieces of fruit for the filling.
This rustic peach and berry crostata recipe is a free-form baked pie with a layer of ground almond creme mixture called frangipane. This gives a delicate and sweet almond aroma and flavor, making the crostata, even more, luxurious.
