Mini Apple Crisps
These Mini Apple Crisps are an ideal treat that combines the sweetness of caramelized apples with a crunchy topping. Each bite provides a burst of flavor that’s both satisfying and comforting.
### Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cold butter, cubed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan and set it aside.
- Begin by peeling, coring, and slicing the apples into thin pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon to the sliced apples, and toss until they’re evenly coated.
- In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press a spoonful of the apple mixture into each greased muffin cup.
- Top each cup with a generous amount of the crumb mixture, ensuring that the apples are well-covered.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Once done, allow them to cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
