Skillet Apple-Ginger Crisp

比水果酥脆的事情更好（或更容易）。即使您不是面包师，也很难把它弄乱。在许多方面，它更像是烹饪而不是烘烤。you can riff a little on the recipe based on what’s in season or what you have in your pantry.For the filling, you can try different apple varieties, substitute pears for all or half of the apples, or even throw some berries into the mix. Come summer, you can swap in peaches or nectarines and still use the same topping. You could also try subbing up to half of the flour in the topping with whole-wheat, buckwheat, or any flour you choose. Crisps are a choose-your-own-adventure cooking experience, and there’s lots of fun to be had along the way.Personally, I find the topping easier and quicker to put together in the food processor, but you can totally do it by hand. Just a heads up—it will take a bit longer to get to that perfect no-longer-dry-and-crumbly-but-just-starting-to clump-together stage, which is what you’re looking for in this crisp topping. If you do decide to tackle the topping by hand, cut the butter into thin slices so it’s easier to squeeze through your fingers, and just keep squeezing the butter and flour mixture with your fingertips until it’s perfectly crumbly-clumpy. Double the recipe and keep half in the freezer for impromptu crisps or to sprinkle on top of a baked apple.I love the oohs and aahs I get from my guests when I serve something humble and simple like this crisp. It’s a fabulous dessert to take to a party; just let it cool enough to set up so everything stays put on the journey! It’s a homey and fulfilling way to end any meal, or honestly as a meal (breakfast). Candied ginger in the topping adds a satisfying chew and a zingy bright flavor that leaves you wanting one more bite.
