Sheet Pan Crostata with Pie Filling
https://easyhomemaderecipes.caThis Easy Sheet Pan Crostata with Pie Filling was one of my favorite desserts growing up. Although it looks more like a cherry dump cake, this crostata was a snack I had any time of the day when I had the munchies.Cherry desserts are one of my favorite which is why I also like this recipe for Cherry and Cream Cheese Strudel.Not a fan of cherry? Try substituting lemon filling or you can also try this Easy Apple Strudel recipe made with puff pastry dough.

Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 8 oz sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 6 oz vegetable oil
- 18 oz cherry pie filling 1 can
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat eggs and sugar together.
- Add vanilla. Add one cup of the flour and add the baking powder. Continue to add the flour alternating with the vegetable oil until you get a smooth consistency.
- When you have added 3 cups of flour, use your judgement to determine whether to stop adding flour. If you want to be able to pour the batter into the baking sheet stop adding flour. If you want a denser dough add about another cup and spread the dough onto the baking sheet like a pizza using a spatula or spoon.
- Use about two thirds of the dough and reserve one third to make the lattice.
- Once you have your dough spread out, spoon the cherry pie filling over the cake. Get as close to the edges as possible with the filling.
- Add more flour to the remaining dough so that you can roll it out. Roll out to about ¼" thickness and using a pastry wheel or a knife cut out the lattice. Carefully place the lattice diagonally on one side, then repeat on the opposite side. If you have enough dough, place lattice around the perimeter of the baking sheet.
- Bake crostata in a 350℉ oven for approximately 30 minutes until slightly golden.
Notes
Tips and Tricks
To spread a thicker dough use a spatula or a spoon to spread the dough while you hold on the parchment paper against the sheet pan. You'll want to check the doneness of the cake at about 25 minutes. Check with a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake pan.Nutrition
