    "Featuring a sweetened crust that is a cross between shortbread cookie and pie dough, this Sour Cherry Crostata is a delicious dessert for a warm summer day! At first glance, this crostata looks like a pie. And in many ways, it is a pie. It’s got a delicious pie crust at the bottom, and extra dough is used to make a classic lattice decoration on top. And of course the cherry filling totally lines up with what you might use for a pie. But this is a crostata. Ok, so what's a crostata? Crostatas are typically more rustic than a traditional American pie. Think of crostatas as an open-faced PB&J sandwich. Same delicious ingredients…just in a bit more rustic in style. A key difference with crostatas is the crust itself. Crostatas typically use a shortcrust pastry dough – in fact, this version would actually be called a pâte sucrée (French) or pasta frolla (Italian). It’s a sweetened, enriched pie dough that lands somewhere between a classic pie dough and a shortbread cookie. Hint: It's delicious!! This Sour Cherry Crostata makes for a great summer dessert! Happy baking!"
