Description
Mini Apple Crisp Cups are individual-sized desserts filled with tender spiced apples and topped with a buttery oat crumble. They’re perfect for cozy gatherings or quick, portioned treats.
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for apple filling)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
- Non-stick spray or muffin liners
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line with muffin liners.
- In a bowl, toss diced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, oats, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Evenly divide the apple mixture between two muffin cups.
- Top each with a generous spoonful of oat crumble mixture.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Optional: top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
- Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping for crunch.
- Store leftovers loosely covered to maintain the crisp topping.
- Can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for best texture.
- Double or triple the recipe for parties or gatherings.
