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.

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

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

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.

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cups chopped apples ((about 6 medium sized apples))
2 tablespoons peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger root
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice ( (zest the lemon before juicing!))
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 10 by 8 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

  • In the same bowl that you used for the apple mixture, mix flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Add the softened butter, and use two knives held together in your hand (or a pastry cutter or fork) to cut the butter into the dry ingredients. The mixture should hold together in large clumps.
  • Using a large spoon or your hand, sprinkle the crisp topping over the apple mixture. Put into preheated oven and bake 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until apples are soft and crisp is lightly browned on top. Cool slightly, and serve warm with ice cream, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your crisps a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't overpeel the apples. A little bit of peel adds flavor and texture to the crisps.
  • Slice the apples evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the apples. This will help prevent them from bruising.
  • Toss the apples with sugar and spices before adding them to the baking dish. This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Don't overmix the topping. You want it to be crumbly, not doughy.
  • Bake the crisps until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  • Serve the crisps warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Apple crisps are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up leftover apples, and they can be customized to your own liking.
