There’s a quiet kind of beauty in the simple things—like tender apples, kissed with cinnamon, bubbling beneath a golden, buttery topping. This recipe makes just three individual apple crisps, a sweet little way to bring joy to the table without excess. As a wife and mother, I find such delight in creating small moments of love through baking, and these crisps feel like just that—graceful, comforting, and made to be savored slowly with the ones who mean the most.

Ingredients

For the apple filling:

• 2 medium apples, peeled & diced
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

For the crumble topping:

• 6 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 6 Tbsp old-fashioned oats
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ cup pecans, chopped
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus a little more if needed)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Make the apple filling: In a bowl, toss the diced apples with maple syrup, lemon juice, cinnamon, and flour. Divide evenly into 3 ramekins (or small baking dishes).
3. Make the crumble topping: In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is fully moist with no dry flour showing. If needed, add a little more melted butter.
4. Assemble: Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apples in each ramekin.
5. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the topping is golden and the apples are tender.
6. Cool slightly and serve warm.

🍴 Serving Suggestions

• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
• For a lighter option, pair with plain Greek yogurt.
• Drizzle with extra maple syrup for a richer flavor.

Storing

• Store cooled apple crumbles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• For longer storage, cover tightly and freeze for up to 1 month.

Reheating

• Oven or Air Fryer  (best for crisp topping): Reheat at 325°F (160°C) for 10–15 minutes until warmed through.
• Microwave (quick): Heat in 15-second intervals until warm, but note the topping may soften.
