crostata di mele / apple crostata

would you like a slice?

It was pretty, it was good, it was gone by the end of the day I baked it.

someone did get a slice

In this crostata, I celebrate the change of seasons: the filling includes plum preserves I made in early summer and apples from the new crop. The recipe is in this post.

This is my contribution to edition #100 of Black and White Wednesday - A Culinary Photography Event created by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook, now organized by Cinzia of Cindystar, and hosted this week by Cinzia herself.

The photos were shot in color and then converted to black and white (Lightroom preset B&W Look 1).

This post contains the gallery of images contributed to the event.

On this page, you can find out who is hosting the current and future editions of the event.

Fantastica la tua crostata di mele, a colori rende ancor meglio l'idea di quanto buona sia. Complimenti anche per tutte le note e i consigli a fine ricetta, sicuramente molto utili! bacioni, Francy

And it *is* pretty. Scraping the light over texture for a top-down shot is not easy. Your crostata is three dimensional, Simona, very well sculpted. I'm sure it tasted like a dream. Look at that clean cut, too!

Yes, I'll have a slice, please! I'm not big on sweets but this kind of thing really sends me. And I love the way you've made the apple slices wrinkle so beautifully. A true work of art.

Oh, I wish I tasted some. :-) Love the B&W photo.

The crostata is so finely detailed in that first click. What a lovely shot! And I would like a slice please ;)

Grazie, Simona, per questo bellissimo scatto, mi piace molto anche il piatto di vetro ;-)
Grazie per essere così fedele all'evento :-)
Al prossimo BWW!

I think that first shot is my favorite of all the black and white series I have seen to date. Brava! Brava Simona!

Grazie, Francy. Ammetto di essere soddisfatta sia per la crostata che per le foto.

Thank you, Susan. Sometimes the stars of photography are all aligned and the result matches the plan. We shared it with friends and it was gone before the end of the day.

I wish I could find a way to send you a slice, Frank. I am also not big on sweets, hence my preference for fresh fruit and low-sugar preserves. Also, apples are really amazing.

Thank you, Paz!

Thanks, Priya. I wish I could send you a slice.

Ciao Cinzia. Anche a me piace molto il piatto. C'e' anche il coperchio di metallo. Un acquisto di qualche tempo fa in uno dei miei negozi preferiti. Quando mi vieni a trovare ti ci porto :)

Thank you so much, Lori Lynn, for your kind words. I am so glad you like the photo.

Such beautiful photos! The crostata looks fragile and rustic at the same time, very lovely.
