1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2
Place a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat.
3
Add 3 tablespoons butter (keep remaining butter cool) and 2 tablespoons sugar.
4
When mixture starts to darken, add apples and ginger slices, and toss to coat.
5
Saute until apples begin to color lightly and juice has cooked down to a sauce, about 10 minutes.
6
Remove from heat, and let cool.
7
In an 9-inch round straight-sided nonstick or glass cake pan, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sugar.
8
Gently mix ingredients with fingers and make a well in center.
9
In a small bowl, whisk together oil, milk and almond extract.
10
Pour oil mixture into well, and mix with a fork just enough to dampen.
11
Using your fingertips, pat out dough so it covers bottom of pan and comes up sides about 1/2 inch (pastry should be about 1/8 inch thick).
12
Place in refrigerator until needed.
13
Make streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt and crystallized ginger.
14
Cut in remaining 2 tablespoons cold butter.
15
Lay apples in a fanned circle in pastry-lined pan.
16
Tuck in slices of ginger so they do not burn.

19
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
