Note

Serve warm with frozen nonfat vanilla yogurt, ice milk, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess.

If you prefer a less intense ginger flavor, reduce the crystallized ginger to 1 tablespoon.

You can substitute McIntosh apples for Rome apples if desired, though Rome holds its shape better during baking.

For a vegan version, use margarine instead of butter in the topping.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
