In a bowl, toss the apples, lemon juice, sugar, the remaining ¼ cup of flour and the cinnamon.

On a floured surface, roll both disks of the dough to 13-inch rounds and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets.

Arrange the apples on top of each dough round, leaving a 2-inch border, and pour the liquid in the bowl over. Dot the apples with the remaining butter and fold the edges of the rounds over the apples.
-
Bake the crostatas in the center of the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes, until the crust is golden. Cover the edge of the crostatas if they begin to darken.
-
Brush the apples with warm apricot preserves. Let the crostatas cool to room temperature.
