Apple Caramel Walnut Crisp with Vanilla Ice Cream
Ingredients
Apple fruit filling:
6 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
Caramel:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
Crisp topping:
2 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons blanched almond flour*
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, such as Land O’Lakes
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
Garnish:
1 pint vanilla ice cream
*Note: To make almond flour add 1/4 cup blanched almonds to a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse on/off 6 to 8 times or until nuts are finely ground.
Preparation
Make the fruit filling:
1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325°F. Lightly butter six 4-ounce ramekins or soufflé dishes.
2. In a large bowl combine the apples, flour, cornstarch, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Toss to coat well.
Make the caramel:
3. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and the water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Cook without stirring for 5 to 8 minutes, until the syrup caramelizes and turns amber in color. Remove from the heat and add to the apples. Using a wooden spoon stir to combine. Divide evenly among the six prepared ramekins.
Make the crisp topping:
4. In another large bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour and almond flour. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, quickly cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Stir in the walnuts; sprinkle the mixture evenly over the fruit. Bake for 30 minutes or until top is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
To serve:
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.
How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.
If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
