This recipe for Individual Apple Crisp creates a dish that is relatively simple to make, and the rustic presentation makes it look inviting and homemade.
Combine brown sugar, flour, oatmeal, butter and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Using your hands or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine ingredients until it resembles coarse pieces.
½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon, ⅓ cup Light or dark brown sugar, ⅓ cup Oatmeal, ⅓ cup All-purpose flour, ¼ cup Unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Apple filling
Wash, peel and core apples. Chop into small pieces approximately ⅓ of an inch.
4 Medium Apples
Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg to a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3–4 minutes, until the apples just start to release their juices.
2 Tablespoons Brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
Take the pan off the heat and stir in the cornstarch until it’s fully mixed in. Let the apples cool for a few minutes before using.
2 teaspoons Corn starch
Assemble and bake
Spoon ¼ of the apple mixture into each dish. Add a generous scoop of the crisp topping over the apples, then press down gently to help it stick and seal.
Bake for 15 - 18 minutes. Tops will be golden brown and apple filling will be bubbling. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
