US - Metric

Instructions

Make the filling

  • Heat oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • Mix together the chopped apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and vanilla in a small bowl.
  • Transfer the apples to a 10-ounce ramekin.

Make the topping

  • In a small bowl, stir together flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut the softened butter into small pieces and add them to the bowl. Blend in the butter using a fork or your fingers and mix until well combined.
  • Scatter the topping evenly over the apples. Place the ramekin on a small rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until apples are soft and the topping is golden.

Notes

    • Choose a Ripe Apple: A ripe apple gives the best flavor and natural sweetness.
    • Make It Gluten-Free: Swap all-purpose flour for almond flour or a gluten-free blend.
    • Prevent Spills: Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips.
    • Avoid Over-Browning: If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil while baking.
 
To make a larger crisp, simply double the ingredients. You can use either a 4x6-inch or a 5x5-inch baking dish, or divide the mixture between two 10-ounce ramekins.
