We always made apple crisp growing up because our tiny apple tree would drop pails and pails of apples in September. It's simple, yet delicious and it has the potential to use up lots of apples. It's only shortcoming is that it doesn't keep well (which is a problem here at school in our two person residence), so I started making ramekin-sized portions, which are just enough to enjoy while still warm, crunchy and right out of the oven. This also means the apple to topping ratio is tipped toward the sweeter side. Click to read the recipe after the jump.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter, softened
3 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons rolled oats
2 tablespoons flour
2 large apples
cinnamon
lemon juice
1. Preheat over to 350° F.
2.Thoroughly mix butter and sugar in a small bowl. Mix in oatmeal and flour.
3. Peel apples and cut into slices 1/8"-1/4" thick Divide apple slices and place in 2 ramekins (these are 3 oz. ramekins - a little over 3 inches in diameter). Sprinkle with a small amount of lemon juice to prevent browning. Sprinkle cinnamon on top to taste.
4 Divide topping mix in two and spread over top of apples.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until topping is crisp and golden brown.
6. Let cool before serving.

I'm loving apple week!! Great stuff!!
Mmmmm, I love apple desserts!
Sounds good, I'll try it :)
This looks, and sounds divine. I'm definitely going to try this.
yumm, looks delish! What size ramekins would you suggest though?
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who likes to make individual sizes of apple crisp. It's so nice for a last minute treat to pop out of the oven just as it's time for dessert!
I made apple crisps in individual size ramekins last night and I wasn't entirely happy with the topping recipe. Your ratios look a lot better and I'll try them the next time. Thank you!
This looks absolutely scrumptious!
this is the best idea ever.
Oh yum!
Fruit crisp is my favorite way of using fruits that aren't the best or ripest without waste. I did this using some peaches that were kinda mealy and not "ripe". Love this pic!
Mmmmm! This is one of my absolute favorite desserts, especially if the tart is hot out of the oven and the ice cream is very, very cold.
Ohmygosh...that looks absolutely delish and I'm such a sucker for apple desserts. I've never tried making these before but I definitely will have to now. Thanks for the recipe!!
Oooh....it looks so good....
They look delicious! I just wish I had a kitchen right now XD
