CARDAMOM APPLE CRISP WITH CARAMEL CREAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Grease bottom and sides of 8-inch square baking dish with shortening or cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, toss apples with 1/3 cup of the brown sugar. Spread apples in dish. In another bowl, stir remaining 2/3 cup brown sugar, the flour, oats, cardamom and cinnamon until well mixed. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle over apples.
• Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until topping is golden brown and apples are tender when pierced with fork. Cool 45 minutes before serving.
• In chilled large deep bowl, beat whipping cream and caramel topping with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Serve caramel cream with warm crisp. Drizzle with additional caramel topping, if desired.

OLD-FASHIONED APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 14 by 2-inch oval baking dish.
• Peel, core, and cut the apples into large wedges. Combine the apples with the zests, juices, sugar, and spices. Pour into the dish.
• To make the topping, combine the flour, sugars, salt, oatmeal, and cold butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the mixture is crumbly and the butter is the size of peas. Scatter evenly over the apples.
• Place the crisp on a sheet pan and bake for 1 hour until the top is brown and the apples are bubbly. Serve warm.

APPLE CRUMBLE WITH CARDAMOM-VANILLA CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the Apple Filling:
• In a small bowl, toss the apple slices with the lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and set aside.
• To make the Crumble Topping:
• In another small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, oats, and salt with a fork until uniform. In a baking dish, melt the butter in the microwave until about half melts, 10 to 15 seconds on high. Pour the butter into the flour mixture and incorporate with a fork. Leaving the excess butter in the baking dish, arrange the apple slices in the dish. Top with the flour-oat mixture. Bake until the apples are cooked through and the topping is golden, about 45 minutes.
• To make the Vanilla-Cardamom Caramel Sauce:
• In a medium-heavy saucepan, mix the water and sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow the mixture to boil, without stirring. Cook's Note: Swirl the pan, if needed. Boil until the sugar mixture is pale golden brown, approximately 7 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat, and stirring vigorously add the butter and cream. The mixture will bubble. Add the cardamom seeds and stir to incorporate. Return the pan to the heat and bring the mixture to a boil and then remove from the heat and allow to cool a few minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract and strain the sauce before drizzling over the cobbler.

APPLE CARDAMOM CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Position oven rack in the center. Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan or large round ramekin.
• Peel and core apples. Slice into think ¼-inch slices and place in a medium bowl. Toss apples with brown sugar, cardamom, ginger, lemon zest, and juice and cornstarch. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together all the topping ingredients except the butter. Using your fingertips, work the butter into the topping and break until the mixture resembles wet sand.
• Toss the apples with a cup of the topping and place in a prepared pan. Scatter the rest of the topping on top of the apples evenly.
• Bake until topping is toasted and filling is bubbling, 50-55 minutes. Let cool before serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

MAPLE CARDAMOM APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350°F. Add all 'filling' ingredients to a large bowl, and toss to combine. Pour into a large skillet or a large baking dish, pat into an even layer.
• Add all ingredients, except melted butter, to a large bowl. Whisk to combine, then pour melted butter over top, and mix with a fork until the mixture looks like wet sand.
• Spread the topping evenly over the filling in the skillet, then place into the oven to bake for around 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the apples are tender.

SKILLET CARAMEL-APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Make the caramel sauce: Add the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water to a 3-quart saucepan and stir to combine. Add the butter and set it over medium-high heat, but do not stir. Cook, without stirring, until the butter and sugar have completely melted and started to bubble, 4 to 5 minutes.
• After the mixture has begun to brown at the edges, use a heatproof spatula to carefully stir it occasionally until it is deep golden brown and beginning to smoke just slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes. Do not walk away from the pan during this process as the caramel will go from perfectly golden to burned in moments.
• When the mixture is deep golden, remove the pan from the heat, and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will expand and sputter before turning into a smooth sauce. Add the vanilla and salt. If the caramel is at all lumpy, return the pan to the stove on low heat and whisk until smooth. You should have about 2 cups. Carefully pour the caramel into a heat-safe container to cool.
• Prepare the filling: Heat your oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center. Peel, core and slice the apples into 1/2-inch slices, removing any bruised bits if necessary. Combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, spices and salt in a large bowl, and stir to combine. Drizzle 1/2 cup caramel sauce over the top and stir again. Scrape the apples and all of their juices into a 9- or 10-inch oven-safe skillet.
• Make the topping: In the same bowl, combine the flour, oats, pecans, sugar and salt. Stir until well combined, then add the butter and mash it into the dry ingredients with your fingers until crumbs form. Pour the crumb topping evenly over the apples. Bake the crisp until the topping is golden and the juices are bubbling, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm with more warm caramel sauce and ice cream. Store any remaining sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week. It can be rewarmed for later use in a saucepan over low heat.
