You might also like vegan apple pie, vegan French apple tart and vegan tarte tatin. A crostata is a free-form and rustic Italian pie and therein lies its attraction: while I love baking up a fancy tart or pie sometimes, I also love it when I can bring all the deliciousness together in this light tart and serve it up fast. Rustic though it may be, this crostata is a looker. The golden crust folded over the apples and strewn over with cranberries and almonds always draws gasps of admiration from my big kid and my little one, and from guests. And the ginger in there adds the perfect holiday flavor without making the crostata heavy or cloying. This is a great recipe for any pie lover, but it would also work very well for someone who doesn’t have too much baking equipment. All you really need is a baking sheet or a large baking dish, and you are good to bake. I like to line the baking sheet with some parchment paper so the crostata can easily be lifted off the baking sheet and transferred to the rack to cool, but you can also line the baking sheet with aluminum foil.

This Ginger Apple Crostata would be the perfect dessert for Thanksgiving, with its festive look and colors. Happy baking! And if you absolutely love ginger in dessert recipes, be sure to check out these vegan chocolate ginger cookies.
