Ginger-Apple Crisp with Walnut-Oat Topping

Soy-Free, Vegetarian

8 Servings, 310 Calories/Serving

This holiday crisp features tart apples tossed with candied ginger, brown sugar, and a touch of lemon, all bubbling under a crumbly oat and walnut topping. Warm, comforting, and oh-so delicious, it’s primed to be a new family tradition.

Ingredients: 4 organic Granny Smith or other apples, 1 organic lemon, 1 ounce candied ginger, 6 ounces brown sugar, 3 ounces cinnamon–brown sugar butter, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 6 tablespoons gluten-free old-fashioned oats, ¼ cup walnuts, 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

1

Get ready

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F convection (400°F conventional).
  • Keep the cinnamon–brown sugar butter in the refrigerator until needed.

2

Prep the apples, ginger, and lemon

  • Core the apples, then cut in half. Cut the halves lengthwise into ½-inch-thick slices.
  • Mince the candied ginger.
  • Zest enough of the lemon to measure 1 tsp. Cut the lemon in half and juice enough to measure 1 tbsp. Save the remaining lemon half for another use.

3

Make the filling and topping

  • In a mixing bowl, gently toss the apples and ginger with the lemon juice and zest, cornstarch, and half of the brown sugar until coated. Transfer to a baking dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to bake. Clean out the mixing bowl.
  • Gently crumble the walnuts into the clean mixing bowl. Add the flour, oats, a pinch of salt, and the remaining brown sugar. Break the cold cinnamon–brown sugar butter into small pieces and quickly work it into the dry ingredients with a fork or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to bake to help the topping hold its crumbly texture.

4

Assemble and bake the crisp

  • When ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish, then loosely distribute the walnut-oat topping over the ginger-apple filling. 
  • Place into the oven for 30-35 min, or until the topping is browned and the fruit is bubbling along the edges of the baking dish. Carefully remove from the oven.

Serve

Serve the ginger-apple crisp with walnut-oat topping warm.
