Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease two ramekins or small baking dishes with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon.
Toss until the apples are evenly coated, then divide the mixture between the prepared ramekins.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt.
Add the diced cold butter and use your fingers to rub it into the dry ingredients until you have a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the apples in the ramekins.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then transfer them to the preheated oven.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your delicious Apple Crisp for Two warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
