This single serve apple crisp is the perfect easy fall dessert for one. It takes just 10 minutes to assemble, and about 30 to bake. It's good out of the oven, but honestly really shines at room temperature-if you can wait!
Make Topping: Add the following ingredients to a small mixing bowl- 3 Tablespoons rolled oats (old fashioned oats), 1 Tablespoon whole wheat flour, 1 Tablespoon dark brown sugar, 2 Tablespoons softened butter, ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon, pinch of salt. Cut together with fork or your hands.
Make Apple Filling: Add the following ingredients to your 7 ounce baking dish-1 teaspoon dark brown sugar, ½ teaspoon whole wheat flour, ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and pinch of salt. Stir together.
Peel apple if desired then, chop into bite sized pieces, about 2 cups. Add to remaining apple filling ingredients. Toss until all apples are covered. If overflowing, remove some apples.
Spoon topping over apple filling. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until topping is golden brown and apples are bubbling.
Serve hot or at room temperature with ice cream, cream, or yogurt.
Notes
Substitute the whole wheat flour for all purpose flour
Substitute dark brown sugar for light brown sugar
Use your favorite apple in this recipe, I like tart apples in baked goods. I used a local braeburn apple. It's my all time favorite.
Additional toppings: chopped nuts (you can add them to your topping), caramel sauce, etc.
