Apple Crisps were a staple of my childhood, and this recipe was an adaptation of my grandmother’s recipe. This recipe creates a combination of sweet and tart, and if you love cinnamon-y desserts, then this recipe is for you.

Yields: 1 serving

Ingredients:

Filling:

• 1 Granny Smith apple (or another baking apple)
• 1 Tablespoon of Sugar
• Pinch of Cinnamon (measure with your heart)

Topping:

• 2 Tablespoons of Oats
• 2 Tablespoons of Brown Sugar
• 2 Tablespoons of Flour
• 1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 1/2 Tablespoon of Butter melted or very soft

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit
2. Peel and slice apples into slices, just under 1/4″ thick and roughly 1″ in length. In a bowl, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the apple slices, and toss until well coated. Set aside.
3. Combine the dry ingredients (flour, oats, brown sugar, & cinnamon)
4. Add melted/very soft butter
5. Mix until well combined.
6. Place the sliced apples in a thick paper baking cup or a small oven safe bowl or ramekin.
7. Spoon the topping “crisp” over the apples.
8. Bake for 25 minutes or until the apples are soft (you can check with a fork) and the topping is golden and crisp.
9. Cool as needed, but I think it tastes best while warm.

Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, and enjoy! Personally, I think this apple crisp recipe is pretty hard to beat. Try it for yourself!
