"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
I love the look of this rustic crostata. I've often "re-created" this recipe (as you can see in the picture) and add a handful of fresh blueberries to the apples and my mother's apple crisp topping.
