Cinnamon-Apple Crostata

I found a new recipe that looked easy and I thought would taste good.  I made it and it was a hit with everyone. I made it again the next day. Today my nephew, Joshua, made it. We are having it for dessert tonight!

  I hope you will try it! If you like apple pie you will love this!
