Ingredients:

Apple Crisp

  • 3/4 cup regular oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • dash fine salt
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups peeled and diced Granny Smith apples
  • 3/4 cup sugar

Ice Cream

  • 1 3/4 cups 2% milk
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 5 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 cups whipping cream

Warm Apple Fritters

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cups vegetable oil
  • 3 Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored and sliced into half inch rings
  • 4 tbsp cornstarch
  • Icing sugar for dusting
 

Ice Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 375 °F. For apple crisp, toss oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt to combine. Add melted butter and stir to blend. Toss apples and sugar and pour into a 4 cup baking dish. Crumble crisp topping over fruit and bake for 20 minutes, until apples are tender. Cool, then chill completely.
  2. For ice cream, heat milk to just below a simmer. Whisk egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl. Slowly add hot milk to yolks, whisking constantly, until all milk is added. Return mixture to pot and stir with a wooden spoon over medium-low heat until custard has thickened and coated the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, strain, and stir in vanilla and cinnamon. Whisk in whipping cream and chill completely.
  3. Freeze ice cream mixture according to manufacturer’s instructions. Once ice cream has structure (usually about 7 minutes of churning), spoon crisp into ice cream maker as it is churning, until all has been added. Scrape ice cream into a non-reactive container and freeze until firm.

Warm Apple Fritters

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, water and egg until smooth.
  2. Heat oil in a deep heavy-bottomed saucepot until it reads 350 °F on a thermometer. Toss a few apple rings in cornstarch; shake off excess, then dip into batter to coat. Using tongs place gently in hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes, then turn over and fry other side. Remove fritters and place on a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Dust with icing sugar and serve.
