Rustic Peach Crostata

The other night I found a roll of pie dough in my freezer and thought lets make something with those perfectly ripe Jersey peaches. A rustic crostata is such. A simple but delicious and beautiful dessert! A crostata is basically a simplified pie. While apple pie is the American pie.. my favorite is peach! The summery sweetness is something I look forward to every year, especially being from Jersey and getting to get farm fresh fruit!.There is nothing better tasting then the fruit you pick yourself!
