GINGER APPLE SALAD



Ginger Apple Salad image

This is a recipe I adopted because it sounded interesting. It took me a while to get around to making it, which is too bad because I thought it was really delicious. For an apple salad, it will keep fairly well in the fridge; we ate the leftovers a day later and they were still in good condition. The main change I have made from the original recipe is to cut the number of apples in half. It still makes quite a lot, and plenty for 4 servings.

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons butter
Sugar
5 golden delicious apples, peeled, cored and quartered
12 thin slices peeled ginger
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons butter (keep remaining butter cool) and 2 tablespoons sugar. When mixture starts to darken, add apples and ginger slices, and toss to coat. Sauté until apples begin to color lightly and juice has cooked down to a sauce, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool.
  • In an 9-inch round straight-sided nonstick or glass cake pan, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sugar. Gently mix ingredients with fingers and make a well in center. In a small bowl, whisk together oil, milk and almond extract. Pour oil mixture into well, and mix with a fork just enough to dampen. Using your fingertips, pat out dough so it covers bottom of pan and comes up sides about 1/2 inch (pastry should be about 1/8 inch thick). Place in refrigerator until needed.
  • Make streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt and crystallized ginger. Cut in remaining 2 tablespoons cold butter.
  • Lay apples in a fanned circle in pastry-lined pan. Tuck in slices of ginger so they do not burn. Pour over any excess juices, and sprinkle streusel over top. Bake until slightly browned, about 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
