It’s been a while. I’ve been working on my book! I finally submitted my manuscript a week-ago! I can’t believe I’m going to have a cookbook out! WHAT?!! Now that all the hard work is over ( all the recipe developing and testing) I’ll have some more time to get back into posting recipes here. I’ll start off this week with a cinnamon and cardamom-spiced apple crisp.
In my opinion, cardamom and cinnamon define autumn. These two mixed together create the feeling of being on a comfy couch with a warm blanket and a fire going. Apple crisps or apple crumble are super easy to make and require very little effort. It’s a well-known fall dessert in Canada and in the United States that is made with chopped apples tossed with sugar and cinnamon and topped with a brown sugar streusel.
I paired the apple crisp with my new obsession, Humphry Slocombe’s Tahitian Vanilla ice cream! I love that warm and cold feeling. I want my brownies, pies, and cookies all à la mode! If you’re feeling adventurous, give their new Coconut & Shoyu Caramel ice cream a try on top! It’s salty and sweet that pairs with pretty much everything fall-flavored.
Cardamom pairs so perfectly with the cinnamon and apples in this autumn dessert. I devoured the apple crisp in half the time it took to make it. #noshame. It made my entire kitchen smells like apple pie. It’s quick, easy, and it takes only a few minutes to put together, what’s not to like?
