Apple Crisp With Tortoni Food

OLD FASHIONED EASY APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Butter an 8x8 baking dish, or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, add chopped apples, granulated sugar, 3/4 tsp of the cinnamon and lemon juice. Stir to combine, then transfer to prepared baking dish.
• In a separate mixing bowl, add topping ingredients (brown sugar, oats, flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, salt, and diced cold butter). Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the oat mixture, using a slight downward twisting motion, until mixture resembled pea-sized crumbs. Alternatively, you can use two forks or even your hands to cut butter into the mixture.
• Spread topping over apples in baking dish, and gently pat to even it out. Bake 40-50 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
• Serve warm and enjoy!

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.

APPLE CRISP WITH TORTONI

Steps:

• Make the macaroons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Beat lightly with a fork.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the almond paste, 3/4 cup of sugar and the salt. Pulse until combined. Scrape into the egg whites. Add the confectioners' sugar and fold together.
• Using two spoons, drop the batter onto parchment-lined baking sheets at least 2 inches apart. (The drops should be about 2 teaspoonsful.) Bake until uniformly golden, about 18 minutes. Let cool; keep the oven on.
• Reserve 4 of the best-looking macaroons. Break the remainder into small pieces and return to the oven for 8 minutes to dry them out. Let cool.
• Pour the toasted macaroon chunks into the food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times. The mixture does not need to be a powder. Pour into a bowl.
• Prepare the apples: Peel, core and cut the apples into 1/4-inch dice. In a large mixing bowl, toss the apples with the sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the lemon zest and juice. Gently mix.
• Make the crisp: In the bowl of the food processor, combine the flour, 3/4 cup ground macaroons, the brown sugar and salt. Pulse to combine. Add the cubed butter and pulse 4 to 5 times until the butter is pea size.
• In 4 1-cup ramekins, fill the bottom layer with the apple mixture, then a layer of crisp, then another apple layer and another crisp layer. Fill the ramekins overly full; the filling will compress as it bakes.
• Bake until the apple filling is bubbling and the crisp has dried out a bit, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the crisps cool slightly before serving. Top each with a small portion of frozen tortoni and a reserved macaroon.

TORTONI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Break the macaroons into pieces and toast them on a baking sheet until golden, dry and crumbly. Let cool. Grind to fine crumbs in a food processor. You need about 1 cup.
• Combine the sugar and 3/4 cup water in a small, heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until the syrup reaches 230 degrees on a candy thermometer.
• Meanwhile, in a mixer, whip the egg whites until they form firm peaks. By hand, whip the yolks until fluffy. In the mixer bowl, fold together the whites and yolks.
• When the sugar is ready, turn on the mixer to medium speed and, with it running, slowly pour in the syrup in a fine thread. Reduce the speed to low and whip until the mixture cools to room temperature. Mix in the vanilla.
• Whip the cream and fold it into the egg mixture.
• Line the base of a 2-quart soufflé dish (or other mold) with parchment. Spoon half the crumbs into the base. Cover with the mousse. Top with the remaining crumbs. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight.
• Dip the base of the dish in a bowl of hot water. Run a knife around the edge of the mold, then invert onto a plate. Cut into wedges.
