Print Recipe

A quick and easy apple crisp for two, made with simple pantry ingredients. Perfect for fall evenings, this dessert features tender apples with a golden, crunchy oat topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (1/4 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place two 10-ounce ramekins or a small 6-inch baking dish on a baking sheet.
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and cut in with a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture is crumbly with pea-sized butter pieces.
  5. Divide the apple mixture evenly between the ramekins or spread in the baking dish. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil for the last 5 minutes.
  7. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.

Notes

Use cold butter for a crumbly topping. Let the apples rest with sugar and spices for 5 minutes to create a natural syrup. Let the crisp rest after baking for 10 minutes to allow the filling to thicken. For gluten-free, use a gluten-free baking blend. For vegan, use cold coconut oil or vegan butter.
