GINGERSNAP APPLE CRISP WITH CREAM CHEESE AND WALNUTS



Gingersnap Apple Crisp with Cream Cheese and Walnuts image

Crisps are far easier to make than pies, but just as flavorful. Macerating the apples in sugar overnight helps them keep some of their crispness in the oven and concentrates their flavor. Toasted walnuts and gooey cream cheese add an element of surprise, and an easy crust made from fall's favorite cookie will make your guests wonder why they ever bothered with pie at all.

Time 9h

Yield 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 large baking apples, such as Granny Smiths
1/3 cup sugar
Butter, for buttering baking dish
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts, toasted
1/4 cup maple syrup
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, cut into cubes
2 cups crushed gingersnap cookies
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
Ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the crisp: Peel and core the apples. Roughly chop into 1-inch chunks and toss with the sugar in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 13-by-9-inch or 2-quart baking dish.
  • Drain the apples from their liquid and return the apples to the bowl. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cloves and ginger and toss well. Using a rubber spatula, mix in the walnuts, maple syrup and half the cream cheese. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish, then dot the mixture with the remaining cream cheese.
  • For the topping: Mix together the crushed gingersnaps, oats, sugar and melted butter. Spread the topping evenly across the crisp and bake until bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature with ice cream.

Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup finely ground ginger snap crumbs (from 10 to 15 cookies processed in a food processor)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
4 large pink lady apples, cheeks removed and cut into 1/2-inch slices
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Unsweetened whipped cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the ginger snap crumble: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the ginger snap crumbs, flour, sugar and salt. Using your fingers, work in the pieces of butter. Large clumps will form; this is what you want. Spread onto a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • For the sauteed apples: Meanwhile, over medium heat, melt the butter in an enameled cast-iron skillet over medium heat until golden in color, about 2 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the apples, brown sugar, ginger, lemon zest, juice and pumpkin pie spice. Toss to coat all the apples. Add the apple mix to the skillet and saute until tender, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Divide the apples and crumb topping among plates. Top with the whipped cream. Serve immediately.

APPLE GINGERSNAP CRUMBLE

Easier and homier than an apple pie, this gently spiced crumble feeds a crowd. If you don't want to make the bourbon cream, serve this with ice cream instead: Vanilla is classic, but ginger, green tea or salted caramel would also be terrific.

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/2 cup/100 grams dark brown sugar, plus more to taste
1/3 cup/75 grams granulated sugar, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons/20 grams cornstarch
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
6 pounds/2 3/4 kilograms apples, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices (about 11 large)
1 cup/80 grams fresh or frozen cranberries
2 tablespoons/30 milliliters lemon juice
2 tablespoons/29 grams cold unsalted butter, cubed
2 cups/250 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups/250 grams dark brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
10 tablespoons/142 grams unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoon/20 milliliters molasses
2 cups/473 milliliters cold heavy cream
1 to 2 tablespoons/7 to 15 grams confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon/15 milliliters bourbon

Steps:

  • Make the filling: Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together brown and granulated sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Stir in apples and cranberries, sprinkle with lemon juice, and toss until combined. Taste mixture: An apple slice should be slightly sweeter than you'd like; the cranberries will seem like they need a little extra sugar. Add more sugar or lemon juice if needed.
  • Scrape apple mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or a shallow gratin dish, mounding them slightly in the center. (This will even out as it bakes.) Dot top with cold butter cubes. Place baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any bubbling juices that may spill over.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, while you make the topping.
  • Make the topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, salt and lemon zest. Add butter and molasses, and use your fingers to crumble the mixture together to form 1/2-inch crumbles.
  • After 25 minutes of baking, stir the apples and mound slightly again. Gently press down on them with a spoon or spatula. Scatter crumbles evenly on top of apples.
  • Bake until topping is crisp and filling bubbles up around the sides of the dish, an additional 30 to 35 minutes. If the top starts to look too dark before the juices are bubbling, loosely cover top of crumble with foil. Transfer to a rack and let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. If you made it ahead of time, you can also reheat the crumble at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Within an hour of serving, make the bourbon cream. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat together cream, confectioners' sugar and bourbon until soft peaks form. Chill if not serving immediately. Serve with apple crumble.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overmix the crumble topping: You want it to be clumpy so that it forms a crispy topping when baked.
  • Use fresh ginger: Grated fresh ginger will give the crumble a more intense flavor than ground ginger.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: The butter in the crumble topping is what makes it rich and flavorful.
  • Bake the crumble until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling: This will ensure that the crumble is cooked through.
  • Serve the crumble warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream: This will make it even more delicious.

Conclusion:
