La Crostata della Nonna | Nonna’s Tart
Crostata is a staple all over Italy, especially for a merenda, a snack, with an espresso. It is a popular dessert in most every Trattoria I have ever been to, and, of course, is readily available at La Pasticceria, the bakeries, in every town from North to South. I enjoy this delicious torte with a glass of Valente Montonico Spumante Brut.

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly to about 1 inch in thickness.
