Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Toss well to ensure the apples are coated.
- Divide the apple mixture evenly among four ramekins or oven-safe cups, filling them about three-quarters full.
- In the same bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, old-fashioned oats, melted butter, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix until a crumbly mixture forms.
- Sprinkle the crumb mixture generously over the apple-filled cups, covering the apples completely.
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans into the crumble topping.
- Experiment with different types of apples for varied sweetness and texture; Granny Smith and Honeycrisp are excellent choices.
- Feel free to add dried fruits like cranberries or raisins for an extra burst of flavor.
