How to Make Baked Ginger Apple Crumble

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter.
  3. In a large bowl, gently toss 6 cups peeled and sliced apples with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons ground ginger, and 1 tablespoon crystallized ginger (finely chopped).
  4. Add the zest and juice of 1 lemon and toss again to combine.
  5. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking pan.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
  7. Cut in 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
