Grilled-Apple Crisp with Aged Cheddar Recipe

Grilled-Apple Crisp with Aged Cheddar Notes

This recipe will add a little something different to the traditional apple crisp. In Wisconsin, we look for reasons to serve cheese with everything. I have always enjoyed the addition of cheddar to apple pie.

Ingredients

• 4 green apples, peeled, cored and cut into slices
• 1/2 cup wheat flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon apple pie spice
• 1/4 cup ginger nibs
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 Tablespoons butter, room temperature
• 4 ounces aged cheddar cheese

Serves / Yields

4

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and butter a loaf pan.

Heat a grill pan, or outdoor grill, until hot. Place the apple slices on the grill just until they attain marks. Remove to the buttered loaf pan.

Combine the flour, sugar, apple pie spice, ginger nibs, and salt in a bowl. Slowly work the butter into the mixture until it turns into crumbs.

Spread evenly over the top of the grilled apples, and bake for 30 minutes, or until the crust is browned.

Serve warm with a 1 oz slice of cheddar cheese melted on top.

Helpful Hints

Serve this with a heavy white dessert wine, such as Sauternes, Washington Late-Harvest Riesling or Eiswine. The sharpness of the cheddar will draw the sweetness out of the wine, and the grill/smoke will help cut through the wine's weight.
