Candied apple garnish
8 cups unsweetened apple cider or apple juice
1 1/2 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/3-inch cubes (about 4 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
Gingerbread
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 large egg
3/4 cup mild-flavored (light) molasses
1/2 cup boiling water
Puddings
3 cups whole milk
2 4-inch-long pieces fresh ginger (about 4 ounces), peeled, thickly sliced
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
4 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of salt
Ice cream or crème fraîche*
*Available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores.

Steps:

  • For candied apple garnish:
  • Combine all ingredients in large pot. Bring to boil over high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until apples are soft and translucent and cider coats apples thickly, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours. Transfer to bowl and cool. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
  • For gingerbread:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 9x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Whisk first 7 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until fluffy. Add brown sugar and egg and beat until blended. Beat in molasses, then flour mixture. Using rubber spatula, stir in 1/2 cup boiling water. Transfer batter to prepared pan.
  • Bake gingerbread until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer pan to rack and cool gingerbread completely in pan. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover pan with foil; let stand at room temperature.
  • For puddings:
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine milk, fresh ginger, and peppercorns in heavy medium saucepan; bring to simmer. Remove from heat. Whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla, ground ginger, and salt in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk hot milk mixture into egg mixture. Strain custard into medium bowl; discard solids in strainer.
  • Cut enough gingerbread into 1/2-inch cubes to measure 5 1/3 cups (reserve any remaining gingerbread for another use). Divide gingerbread cubes among eight 3/4-cup custard cups or ramekins. Pour custard over gingerbread in each cup, dividing equally. Let stand 15 minutes to allow gingerbread to absorb some custard.
  • Place cups in roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of cups. Cover pan with foil. Bake puddings until set, about 1 hour. Remove from water bath.
  • Serve puddings warm or at room temperature, topped with candied apple garnish and ice cream.

Provided by Claire Saffitz

Categories     Bon Appétit     Cake     Apple     Dessert     Fall     Brunch     Ginger     Cinnamon     Clove     Molasses     Maple Syrup     Bake

Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup unsalted butter, plus more for pan
1 cup (packed) light brown sugar, divided
1 pound lady apples, unpeeled, very thinly sliced, seeds removed, divided
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup robust-flavored (dark) molasses
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tablespoons finely grated peeled ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more for serving
Special Equipment
A 10-inch springform pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter pan and line bottom with a parchment round; butter parchment. Heat 1 Tbsp. butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 2 Tbsp. water in a large skillet over medium, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Cook, without stirring but swirling skillet often, until large bubbles that are slow to pop form, about 2 minutes. Pour caramel into prepared pan and tilt pan to evenly coat bottom.
  • Melt 1 Tbsp. butter in same skillet over medium heat; add half of apples and toss to separate. Cook, tossing often, until apples are softened and almost translucent, about 4 minutes. Repeat process with another 1 Tbsp. butter and remaining apples. Let apples sit until cool enough to handle, then arrange over caramel in several overlapping layers. Set pan aside.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a large bowl to combine; set aside. Heat molasses, maple syrup, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, and remaining 1/2 cup butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Whisk in eggs and ginger. Stir baking soda into 1/4 cup very hot water in a small bowl until dissolved, then whisk into molasses mixture. Whisk molasses mixture into reserved dry ingredients and scrape batter over apples, spreading evenly. Evenly drizzle 1/2 cup cream over batter.
  • Place cake on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake until center is firm to the touch and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 35-45 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cake cool in pan 15 minutes. Run a paring knife around the sides of cake to loosen, then remove the sides of pan and invert cake onto rack. Carefully remove pan and peel away parchment (apples might stick, so work slowly). Let cool completely.
  • Slice cake into wedges and serve drizzled with more cream.
  • Do Ahead
  • Cake can be baked 1 day ahead. Store tightly covered at room temperature. To revive apples, reheat cake slightly in a microwave and brush top with maple syrup.

APPLE-TOPPED GINGERBREAD WITH MAPLE CREAM



Apple-Topped Gingerbread With Maple Cream image

Perfect for fall. This is from the October "Yankee" magazine in an article about the Shaker Village in Hancock, Massachusetts, featuring a traditional Shaker menu of simplicity and goodness. This is a gingerbread of the "damp" variety, not cakey, though when you check it with the knife, it will still come out clean.
