Cinnamon-Apple Crostata

**Update**- this was actually really yummy and easy!  I used granny smith apples, pecans, and  put some ice cream on top.  Definitely enjoyable :) It didn't take as long as the recipe called for - maybe 15 minutes total for the crust to brown but I used two regular pie crusts and just put them on a flat sheet so they were smaller.  (I needed two to get all four apples in). Again EASY and worth a try! :)

Ok- haven't tried this yet but I want to.  Sounds great for fall!
