Amaretti Apple Crisp Food

AMARETTI BISCUITS

Steps:

• PREHEAT the oven to 160 degrees. SEPARATE the egg yolks from whites into two bowls. BEAT the egg yolks with a whisk and add the sugar gradually. Don't over beat the egg yolks, just enough so that sugar is combined with yolk and mixed well. ADD the ground almonds and almond extract and combine. BEAT the egg whites until they form soft peaks and gently fold into almond mixture. COVER the mixture with cling film and refrigerate for at least an hour. ROLL out the almond dough with your hands into walnut size balls and then roll in icing sugar to coat. PLACE on greaseproof baking tray and bake for 25 mins.

AMARETTO APPLE CRISP WITH TOASTED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Add the apples to 9×13 baking dish (or a large skillet) and toss them with the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Pour the amaretto over top and toss the apples.
• In a bowl, stir the oats, brown sugar, almonds, flour, cinnamon and salt. Add in the vanilla extract and amaretto, then add the butter. Use your hands to incorporate the butter until it is evenly distributed and you have a crumbly mix. Sprinkle it evenly over the apples. Bake the apples for 40 to 45 minutes, until the crisp is golden brown and the juice is bubbly underneath. Remove the dish from the oven and serve the crisp hot with ice cream.
