Gingersnap Apple Crisp Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
• Arrange apple slices evenly in prepared baking dish. Sift flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal; sprinkle over apples.
• Bake in preheated oven until topping is golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, mix the first six ingredients. Add apples; toss to coat. In a small saucepan, combine caramels and rum. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until caramels are melted. Pour over apple mixture; toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking dish., For topping, in a small bowl, mix crushed cookies, brown sugar and flour; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over filling. Bake 35-40 minutes or until apples are tender. Cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute fresh apple slices 5 minutes, or until tender.
• Stir in juice, sugar, fresh ginger and cinnamon. Cook 5 minutes, or until liquid is syrupy.
• Add dried apple slices and candied ginger. Reduce heat to medium, and cook 3 minutes more, or until heated through.
• Sprinkle bottom of a 2-qt. bowl with 1/2 cup crushed gingersnaps.
• Stir remaining gingersnap crumbs into the apple mixture.
• Layer apple mixture and yogurt in bowl.
• Garnish with whole gingersnaps, if desired.

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.

Steps:

• Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl; stir well to mix. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together on medium speed the butter and sugar for about 5 minutes until very light, fluffy and whitened. Add the egg and continue beating until smooth. Lower speed and beat in half the dry ingredients, then the molasses. Stop the mixer and scrape down bowl and beater. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients. Remove bowl from mixer and use a large rubber spatula to finish mixing the dough. Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop out 1-inch diameter pieces of dough. Roll into balls between the palms of your the hands, then roll in the sugar. Place the balls of dough on the prepared pans leaving about 3 inches all around each, to allow for spreading. Bake the cookies for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have spread, the surface has crackled, and they are firm to the touch. Slide the papers from the pans to racks. Store the cooled cookies between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in a tin or platic container witha tight-fitting cover.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• In a large bowl, cream the shortening and sugar. Add the egg and beat until light and fluffy, then stir in the molasses. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger and cinnamon. Add to the egg mixture and stir until well blended. Roll bits of dough into 1 inch balls. Dip each ball in sugar and place on cookie sheet, sugared side up about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until cookies have spread and tops have cracked. Let cool on wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Place apples in greased 8-inch square baking pan. Top with marshmallows; set aside.
• Mix gingersnap crumbs, pecans and butter in medium bowl until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over marshmallow layer.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until apples are tender, covering loosely with foil after 10 minutes to prevent overbrowning, if necessary.
