Apple Crumble with Oat and Pecan Topping and Maple Whipped Cream

Nina: "I am calling this 'Sam and Mom's apple crumble'. Sam is my ten year old, and he is a budding foodie, and apple crumble is his favorite dessert in the world, but it's also mine. And I'm going to put some thyme in the crumble for a little bit of an adult flavor and a little bit of bourbon as well."

Joe Bastianich (judge): "So you're making a creme fraiche or custard. Where are we going with this?"

Nina: "I am going to do a stabilized maple whipped cream, and I'm also going to do a little bit of a fresh fruit salad."
